How are the DNA strands organized?

A) The strands are parallel to one another. The base pairs are not complementary to one another.

B) The strands are antiparallel. The base pairs are complementary and this allows the formation of hydrogen bonds.

C) The strands are parallel to one another. The base pairs are matched with the exact same base pair throughout it.

D) Some strands are antiparallel and others are parallel. This causes some base pairs to be complementary and others are not complementary.

How are the DNA strands organized?

The strands are anti-parallel. The base pairs are complementary and this allows the formation of hydrogen bonds.

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) runs in anti-parallel strands which allows it to stand in an opposing manner while the base pair are complimentary which allows for formation of hydrogen bond.
