The two strands in a DNA molecule (the polynucleotides) are complementary to each other. This means that the base sequence in one strand determines the base sequence in the other strand. This happens because of specific base pairing. An adenine in one strand always pairs with a thymine in the other strand, and a cytosine in one strand always pairs with a guanine in the other strand. So if you know the base sequence in one strand of the DNA yoiu can work out the sequence in the complementary strand. See: http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/biocoach/dnarep/basepair.html
DNA strands run anti-parallel from one another, and have a double helix structure. The strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between base pairs that are weak individually, but collectively strong.

Are DNA strands oriented antiparallel to each other?
Yes.
What holds the two strands of a DNA molecule of each other?
Hydrogen bonds
Does DNA strands from different people look different?
It probably would, because it makes good sense if DNA strands looked different for each person
How are the two sugar phosphate strands of a DNA molecule are joined to each other?
hydrogen bonds between nucleotide bases
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.
Are DNA strands oriented antiparallel to each other?
Yes.
Are DNA complimentary strands alike?
no these are complementary to each other not alike.

What were the drawbacks to Rosalind Franklin discovering DNA is a double helix?
they both have two strands of DNA wind around each other like a twisted ladder.The strands are complementary.
Are chromosomes strands of DNA?
Each chromosome has a single strand of DNA.
How a molecule of DNA makes an exact copy of itself?
they break apart and they find other DNA strands and form more DNA strands.
