DNA fragments digested by restriction endonucleases separate on agar gel electrophoresis according to their size because:

1. they are forced to move towards cathode under an electric field
2. agar gel provides a sieving effect
3. larger fragments will have more negative charge and will move farther in the electric field
4. chelation with ethidium bromide reduce the rate of transport of fragments
