What is meant by the description "antiparallel" regarding the two strands that make up the DNA double helix?
(A) The double helix structure of DNA creates nonparallel strands.
(B) The 5' to 3' direction of one strand runs counter to the 5' to 3' direction of the other strand.
(C) Base pairings create unequal spacing between the two DNA strands.
(D) One strand contains only purines and the other contains only pyrimidines.

The meant by the description "antiparallel" regarding the two strands that make up the DNA double helix , the 5' to 3' direction of one strand runs counter to the 5' to 3' direction of the other strand

Chromosomal DNA would be composed of two DNA polymers that together form a double helix, which is a three-dimensional (3D) structure. When the DNA strands are antiparallel, which means the 3' and 5' ends of each DNA strand are parallel to one another.

Two strands of something like the DNA molecule are joined through hydrogen bonds.

Hence, the correct answer will be option (B)
