Detailed explanation-1: -The term ‘antiparallel’ means that the strands run in opposite directions, parallel to one another. The antiparallel strands twist in a complete DNA structure, forming a double helix.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each molecule of DNA is a double helix formed from two complementary strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds between G-C and A-T base pairs.
Detailed explanation-3: -The strands of a DNA double helix are said to be “antiparallel” because the have the same chemical structure, but are opposite in direction.
Detailed explanation-4: -DNA is composed of two strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonding. The strands each run from 5’ to 3’ and run in antiparallel, or opposite, directions from one another.
Detailed explanation-5: -DNA molecules have an antiparallel structure-that is, the two strands of the helix run in opposite directions of one another.
