What does it mean for the DNA to be antiparallel?

Answer:

Two biopolymers are antiparallel in biochemistry if they operate parallel to each other but in opposite directions (alignments). A DNA double helix, for example, has two complementary strands that pass in opposite directions alongside each other.

Hope this helps!
