Deoxyribonuclease is any enzyme that catalyses the hydrolytic cleavage of the phosphodiester bond links in the DNA back bone (aka the bits between the pentose's).
So because it shares the characteristics of a nuclease it has a mojor effect on the DNA itself. Depending on the specificity of the particular deoxyribonuclease it has the potential to dissintegrate a DNA polymer- essentially making it impossible for division.
This principle is why it is an effective enzyme to be inhaled by those suffering from Cystic Fibrosis.

What enzyme is responsible for deplolymerization for DNA?
DNase I: deoxyribonuclease
Are carbohydrates proteins and DNA all polymers?
polymers are a type of carbohydrate, but DNA is a type of nucleic acid and polypeptides are proteins
Are proteins polymers 20 different nucleotides?
No, proteins are polymers of amino acids. DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides.
Which of these polymers is responsible for your inheritance?
dna
Which polymers code for an organism trait?
The polymers that code for traits are nucleotides found in DNA.

What effect do plasticisers have on polymers?
The effect it has on polymers is that it makes them condensate.

Which polymers code for an organism trait?
The polymers that code for traits are nucleotides found in DNA.
Which of these polymers acts as an energy storage molecule?
DNA
What way are the amino acids in proteins and the nucleotides in DNA similar?
They are both polymers.
Are DNA and RNA molecules considered monomers or polymers?
They are considered polymers. The monomers of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are nucleotides. Each nucleotide has a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base.
Is plastic a polymer?
Plastics are polymers but not necessarily the other way round. DNA and other biological molecules are polymers but they are not plastics.
Name some polymers that are produced in nature?
There are several polymers in living beings, for example, proteins, DNA, RNA, and polysaccharides.
What are some examples of polymers of nucleotides?
Nucleic acids
