Each strand in the double helix is identical to the opposite strand?
No each strand is complementary to the other, not identical. Opposite strands will run in the opposite direction with nucleotides that complement the other strand Ex. 5actgactgactg3 & 3tgactgactgac5
What can you say about the direction of the strands of nucleotides that make up DNA molecule?
DNA has a double halux strand and the direction of the both halux is opposite to each other i.e the go in opposite direction.
Friction acts in the opposite direction of?
Friction always acts in the opposite direction, of the other object's motion.
Is Each strand in the double helix is identical to the opposite strand?
No. Each base (A, G, T, C) pair with their respective base on the opposite strand making them exact opposites of each other. A - T G - C C - G A - T T - A
Does DNA have a specific direction?
In a way Yes!, but also, in the same way no. Each strand of DNA is polymerized in the 5' to 3' direction. Meaning that to copy the strand of DNA, the enzyme used to do this (DNA polymerase) can only flow in this direction. However, the complimentary base paired strand also goes in the 5' to 3' direction, but it is opposite of what the other strand is. So basically you have one strand going 5' to 3' and one strand in the same direction going 3' to 5'Here is an example....Letters indicate basesA- adenineG- guanineC- cytosineT- thymine5'-AATTCGGTCCGTTCCGGCTAATCG-3'3'-TTAAGCCAGGCAAGGCCGATTAGC-5'The 5' or 3' direction basically indicates that there is a hydroxy group attached to the end of each sugar phosphate backbone so that the next nucleotide can be added by a hydrolysis reaction. In this way, the nucleotides can only be added from 5' to 3' making DNA a perfect molecule for enzymatic replication!Hope this helps!

What is meant by the description antiparallel regarding the strands that make up DNA?
The 5 to 3 direction of one strand runs counter to the 5 to 3 direction of the other strand
What does a periscope look like?
A periscope looks like a long pipe with a bend on either end. One bend faces a direction, and the other bend faces the opposite direction.
What does antiparallel mean in DNA?
One strand runs one way and the other runs the opposite way. An example using integers. 12345678 87654321 except in DNA there are only four different bases. Thus; AGTC TCAG
What shape has 2 opposite faces and some other faces which are parellograms?

This shape has 2 opposite identical faces and some other which are parallelograms is a prism. A cylinder shape has 2 circular faces and one curved face.
What shape has 2 opposite identical faces and some other faces which are paralleograms?
A prism.
Is the direction of rotation of Venus opposite to the direction of all other planets?
The rotational direction of Venus and Uranus is opposite to the direction of the rest of the planets.
What 3D shape has 5 faces two opposite faces that are triangles and the other faces are rectangles?
triangular prisom
Friction acts in the opposite direction of?
Friction always acts in the opposite direction, of the other object's motion.
How are the strands of a DNA molecule related to each other?
the terms that describe the strands of a DNA molecules are complementary( because of the complementary base pairing existing between them by hydrogen bonding), antiparallel (because one of the strand is in 5'3' direction, while the other in 3'5'direction according to the direction of the 3rd and 5th carbon of the deoxyribose sugar and its the one strand, antisense strand is the coding strand for the transcriiption to mRNA while the other is noncoding bindhu blesson
