Why is nascent oxygen supported to be toxic to aerobic life forms?

Answer-

_____________________

Nascent oxygen is a highly reactive substance; it is a permanent oxidising agent. It can easily react with various kinds of molecules like DNA, proteins present in the aerobic life forms.

This reaction will lead to unwanted mutation which may threaten the aerobic life forms.
