Answer:True

Explanation:

Two single stranded DNA are said to be antipararell when one runs in the 5' to 3' direction, while the second strand runs in the 3' to 5' direction. They are both line up in opposite direction.

The antipararell of DNA is similar to a road divided into two, each half carrying traffic in opposite direction.

The answer is True
