The Antiparallel Arrangement Within DNA Molecules Refers to _______

Question

The antiparallel arrangement within DNA molecules refers to _______.
A) each base bonding at the 1' position of the sugar
B) a purine always bonding to a pyrimidine
C) one helix strand that runs from the 5' to 3' direction and the other strand runs from the 3' to 5' direction
D) an original parent DNA strand and one newly synthesized DNA strand comprising a new DNA molecule

Accepted Answer

The antiparallel arrangement in DNA refers to the orientation of the two strands of the double helix, where one strand runs in the 5' to 3' direction and the other in the 3' to 5' direction, allowing for proper base pairing and replication.
