Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Two strands of DNA are antiparallel to each other because they appear in opposite direction and are mirror image and they are read in 5' - 3' direction which also refers to the orientation of nucleotides of a single strand of DNA and the reading would start from the free phosphate and it will end at the hydroxyl group
