5 0

Answer:

DNA double strands are run in opposite direction

Each stand has two ends. One end is called 5’ (5 prime) and the end is known as 3' (3 prime). The two stands in a DNA run in antiparallel or in an opposite direction. It means at one end, one strand is 3' and the other is 5' and at the other end one strand is 5' and another strand is 3'.
