B. 1

O C. 4

OD. 2

Not B

Answer :

Answer:

DNA with the shortest strand will travel longer than DNA with the longer strand. In electrophoresis, the electricity will cause the DNA to move from one side of the gel to the other side. Shorter DNA strand will have a lower resistance to move in that gel so it can move further.
