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

Each strand in the double helix is complementary rather than identical to the opposite strand. The bases in one strand pair up with specific bases in the opposite strand according to the base pairing rule (A with T and C with G). This complementary base pairing allows each strand to serve as a template for the synthesis of a new strand during DNA replication.
The whole DNA strand is a double helix.

A DNA strand is commonly known as a "double helix" due to its twisted shape resembling a spiral staircase.
A DNA strand is shaped like a 'double helix'.
Each strand in the double helix is complementary rather than identical to the opposite strand. The bases in one strand pair up with specific bases in the opposite strand according to the base pairing rule (A with T and C with G). This complementary base pairing allows each strand to serve as a template for the synthesis of a new strand during DNA replication.
During DNA replication, each double helix produced consists of one original parental strand and one newly synthesized daughter strand. The parental strand serves as a template for the synthesis of the complementary daughter strand, resulting in two identical double helices.
The whole DNA strand is a double helix.
A DNA double helix is made up of two stands that twist around each other in a spiral shape. Each strand consists of a sequence of nucleotide bases that pair up with the bases on the opposite strand, forming the characteristic double helix structure.
the DNA base pairs must be compliment and the strand must be exact opposite of the other.

A strand of DNA is shaped like a double-helix.
A double helix has twice the number of bases in one strand, so after adding the complementary strand, the double helix will have the sum of the bases in both strands. This is because each base pairs with its complementary base (A with T, and G with C) across the two strands.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) has a double helix structure, in which two strands of nucleotides are wound around each other. This helical structure is responsible for carrying genetic information in living organisms.
