Answer:

No they are not.

Step-by-step explanation:

They’re antiparallel because the two strands are “built” in opposite ways: one runs from 3' to 5' while the other is a 5' to 3' direction, 3 and 5 indicating the number of carbon rings in the deoxyribose rings of the sugar-phosphate backbone. It has nothing to do with the coding itself.
