Enzymes that break down DNA catalyze the hydrolysis of the covalent bonds that join nucleotides together. What would happen to DNA molecules treated with these enzymes?

The phosphodiester linkages of the polynucleotide backbone would be broken.
The DNA molecules would be broken down into individual nucleotides or smaller fragments due to the hydrolysis of the covalent bonds that join the nucleotides together.
