Antiparallel has a variety of meanings depending on what the subject matter is. For example, in biochemistry, it means the orientation of adjacent molecules. In traffic, its two parallel one-way streets that have traffic travelling in opposite directions.

∙ 8y agoAnti parallel is a term that is used more commonly in the study of vectors. It refers to lines that are parallel - in the "normal" sense of the word, but the directions are opposite.
Consider the simple example of traffic flowing on a two way street going North-South. The distance between the North-bound lane and the South-bound lane is the same so that these lanes are parallel. But the traffic flow is in opposite directions and so the lanes are said to be anti-parallel.

Antiparallel
One strand of dna faces the opposite direction of the other strand?
Yes, this is called antiparallel. CGTACC GCATGG Like that.
What type of base pairing occur during transcriptions?
the types that occur are complementary and antiparallel. For example, DNA A will pair with RNA U and DNA C will pair with RNA G.
What is the orientation of the DNA strand?
The orientation is called antiparallel. Thus.ATGCTATACGATRunning in opposite directions, so to speak.
What is the anti parallel DNA strand of 5'-C-C-A-T-C-T-T-G-3'?

When it is not parallel. Parallel is when it is two straight lines: like train tracks are antiparallel, when it is going of course: Like a trapezium.

Are Single stranded DNA molecules are said to be antiparallel when they lined up next to each other but oriented in opposite directions?
Yes. Technically they need to be two individual strands of a double-stranded molecule and not single-stranded molecules in order to be called antiparallel.
