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.
What else can I help you with?
Are the two strands of DNA identical to each other?
No, the two strands of DNA are not identical to each other. They are complementary and have opposite sequences of nucleotide bases.
Are DNA strands oriented antiparallel to each other?
Yes, DNA strands are oriented antiparallel to each other, meaning one strand runs in the 3' to 5' direction while the other runs in the 5' to 3' direction. This is important for the complementary base pairing that occurs between the two strands.
How are the two complementary strands of DNA connected to each other?
The two complementary strands of DNA are connected to each other through hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases. This bond forms a double helix structure, with adenine pairing with thymine and cytosine pairing with guanine.
How many strands of RNA are transcribed from the two unzipped strands of DNA?
One strand of RNA is transcribed from each of the two unzipped strands of DNA during transcription. RNA polymerase synthesizes a complementary RNA strand to one of the DNA strands.
What holds the two strands of a DNA molecule of each other?
Hydrogen bonds
Are the two strands of DNA identical to each other?
No, the two strands of DNA are not identical to each other. They are complementary and have opposite sequences of nucleotide bases.
Are DNA complimentary strands alike?
no these are complementary to each other not alike.
What holds the two strands of DNA to each other?

What holds the strands of a DNA molecule to each other?
Hydrogen bonds
What holds two strands of dna molecule to each other?
The two strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen base pairs.
What holds two strands of a DNA molecules to each other?
hydrogen bonds
What holds the two strands of DNA molecule each other?
hydrogen bonds
Are DNA strands oriented antiparallel to each other?
Yes, DNA strands are oriented antiparallel to each other, meaning one strand runs in the 3' to 5' direction while the other runs in the 5' to 3' direction. This is important for the complementary base pairing that occurs between the two strands.
In DNA molecule how many polynucleotide strands are present?
In a DNA molecule, two polynucleotide strands are present. These strands are arranged in a double helix structure, with each strand consisting of a sequence of nucleotides that are complementary to each other.
Are chromosomes strands of DNA?
Each chromosome has a single strand of DNA.
The two DNA strands that form during mitosis are identical true or false?
True and false because two DNA strands can be Identical during mitosis sometimes and sometimes not.
Nucleotides in opposing strands of DNA that bind to each other are called?
Complementary
