DNA strand are anti parallel because they have complementary base pair and each two strand coiled to 5'_3' and other strand is 3'_5'.

What okazaki fragments are?
In DNA replication, the two DNA strands acting as templates need to be synthesized simultaneously. DNA polymerase is an enzyme which can synthesize the DNA only in 5' to 3' direction.the two template strands are anti-parallel to each other and their complementary strands are synthesized in different direction. In one of the strand DNA is synthesized continuously by adding nucleotides at 3'-OH end. this is referred as 'leading strand' synthesis. the other strand to be synthesized is replicated in short fragments referred 'Okazaki fragments' named after their discoverer Reiji Okazaki.
How many strands is DNA made of?
DNA is composed of two strands of DNA nucleotides.
How can you compare DNA to a zipper?
During the processes of DNA replication and transcription, the two strands of the DNA molecule separate, or "unzip", so that the two strands can be copied by DNA nucleotides, or the anti-sense strand of DNA can be transcribed by mRNA.
DNA molecules has how many strands?
DNA molecule is normally double stranded
What property of DNA makes it possible for a probe to find a single-stranded DNA target gene?
a DNA molecule has two paired strands. ~
What is the action of a DNA binding protein?
dna binding protein binds the 2 anti parallel strands of dna together
What is a word that describes that the strands of DNA run in opposite directions?
Anti-parallel
DNA molecule antiparallel Why?
The DNA molecule is anti-parallel. This is because the two strands are the opposite of one another, such that if one strand has the base sequence ATC, the opposite strand would have the base sequence TAG.
What is it called when DNA runs in opposite directions?
anti parallel
What is the role of heat in DNA extraction?
Heat anneals DNA strand i.e. separate two strands of DNA to build anti-codon to desired DNA strand
The continually elongating strand of new dna at one side of a replication fork during dna replication is known as?
The strand of DNA that is being continually created is known as the leading strand. The strand that is being created in sections/loops is known as the lagging strand. The reason that these two strands are created differently is because the two strands of DNA run in different directions (they are anti-parallel). This means that because new nucleotides can only be added in a 5'-3' direction, the two strands cannot be created in the same method.

How many DNA strands do goldfish have?
10000 DNA strands.
Why does DNA replication have to be in an anti-parallel direction?
DNA polymerase III can only work in the 5' to 3' direction.
How many strands is DNA made of?
DNA is composed of two strands of DNA nucleotides.
How many strands are there at the beginning of DNA replication?
At the beginning of DNA replication there are two strands of DNA nucleotides.
