6 0

Answer:

chromosomes.

Explanation:

Chromosomes occur as strands of long-chain protein molecules called DNA. Chromosomes are made up of two strands each called chromatid . The chromatids are joined at a point called centromere. During prophase, the chromosomes become tightly coiled and so appear shorter and thicker. Parts of chromosomes form functional units called genes which determine different activities of the cell. Genes are hereditary and can be transmitted from parent to off-spring.

What term is used to describe the relationship of the DNA strands to each other?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

Deoxyribose nucleic acid or DNA is the genetic material of the organism which is made up of nucleotide monomer. The structure of DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides coiled in a helical structure thus providing a double-helical shape to the structure.  

Each nucleotide of a strand is composed of a five-carbon sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous bases. These molecules are arranged in anti-parallel fashion in DNA which provides the polarity to the DNA strand. One strand is read from the 5' to 3' direction whereas another form 3'to 5' direction.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
