DNA that is ingested is digested in the intestine by the action of pancreatic and intestinal juice.
the enzyme nuclease of pancreatic juice acts on the DNA and coverts into nucleotides.
now the nucleotides are digested further by nucleotidases of intestinal juice to form nucleosides.
now finally by the action of nucleotidases of intestinal juice nucleosides are converted to nitrogen base and pentose sugar.
