Answer:

B. Smaller fragments travel faster and farther than larger fragments.

Explanation: Shorter molecules move faster and migrate farther than longer ones because shorter molecules migrate more easily through the pores of the gel. This phenomenon is called sieving. [2] Proteins are separated by charge in agarose because the pores of the gel are too large to sieve proteins.
