describes the DNA
antiparallel double
helix?
A. BOTH strands run ONLY in the
3' to 5' direction.
B. BOTH strands run in random
directions.
C. ONE strand runs in the 5' to 3'
direction, and the other strand
runs in the 3' to 5' direction.

Answer 1

Answer 2

one strand runs in the 5' to 3' direction, and the other strand runs in the 3' to 5' direction.

How is DNA helix antiparallel?

The strands of a DNA double helix are said to be "antiparallel" because the have the same chemical structure, but are opposite in direction.
