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

Assertion $(A)$ : $\alpha$-halocarboxylic acid on reaction with dil. $NH _3$ gives good yield of $\alpha$-amino carboxylic acid whereas the yield of amines is very low when prepared from alkyl halides.

Reason $(R):$ Amino acids exist in zwitter ion form in aqueous medium.
