No, human blood does not include the enzymes, nucleases and proteases. In human beings, blood serum contains different types of protease inhibitors, which protect the blood proteins from being broken down by the action of proteases. The enzyme, nucleases, catalyses the hydrolysis of nucleic acids that is absent in blood.

Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Biology - Chapter . This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Excercise 1 , Question 9: Does our blood have proteases and nucleases?....

human blood have proteases like prothrombin which is an inactive form of thrombin which help in clotting of blood . But it did not contain any nucleases
No, blood cannot have active proteases and nucleases as it will lead to degeneration of blood proteins by proteases and nucleic acid present in WBCs of blood will be destroyed by nucleases and that will ultimately lead to death of WBCs. But blood can have inactive proteases like prothrombin which is activated during blood clotting.
Yes, there are some proteases and nucleases in Blood. Protease like thrombin is found in inactive form thrombinogen, plasmin in the form of plasminogen etc.DNase 1 and DNase1I3 are serum nucleases of human being. Kindly correct
