Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): After the washing with alcohol (decolorization step), Gram-positive bacteria retain the purple color, while Gram-negative bacteria become colorless.

Reason (R): Gram-positive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer that traps the Crystal Violet-Iodine complex, whereas Gram-negative bacteria have a high lipid content in their outer membrane which dissolves in alcohol.
