Well, we know that every living thing has something called DNA in the nucleus. A human being has DNA, so does an apple. I just wonder what happens to DNA of the apple when we eat it. Does it become a part of us, or our DNA or what?
I know, this question sounds very stupid, but just wondering...

It is a perfectly reasonable question, and what happens is that the apple's DNA is decomposed by the digestive process into sugars, which may be used by your body as fuel, to make DNA, or for other purposes.

The apple DNA, and all of its other parts, are broken down to their basic elements through digestion.

i stays the apple dna but the dna is broken down into nutrients in our stomach for our body to make energy.

No. That's a good question but it would become sugars and basic chemicals that are absorbed into our body, but the cell will use it for energy, and then it becomes waste. I see where you might have thought this though. (=
