Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
To say that DNA strands are “antiparallel” means that ____
A
the sides run into each other and cross at the center
B
the sides run parallel to each other, but with opposite base pairs
C
the sides run parallel to each other, with the same base pairs
D
the sides run backwards to each other, with disconnecting base pairs.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In biochemistry, two biopolymers are antiparallel if they run parallel to each other but with opposite directionality (alignments). An example is the two complementary strands of a DNA double helix, which run in opposite directions alongside each other.
