As the existing wire size is sufficient to handle 220 volts you can use it to carry 110 volts. You will need to change the receptacle and also change from a double pole breaker to a single pole breaker at the fuse panel. Unless you know what you are doing, I would suggest you hire an electrician. A very simple job that should not be too expensive.

I would do nothing more than trip the breaker at the fuse panel. Out of sight out of mind.
[That is not good practice! Why not provide a properly connected and protected 120 volt socket outlet near to the gas stove?]

You'll want to perform what is known as a "burial".
Carefully remove the wires from the main service panel and tuck them away OUTSIDE the panel. Before tucking them away snip off the bare ends, put on a wire-nut, and wrap it with electrical tape. At the kitchen outlet, snip off the bare ends and put wirenut on and tape. But leave everything INSIDE the junction box.
This method allows for the unit to be hooked back up if need be.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

How do you add 240v service for electric oven to replace a gas oven?
An electric oven must be on a dedicated circuit. Unless you already have a 220 Volt circuit available, you will have to run a wire from the fuse panel to the stove. Call a licensed electrician.
How many circuits for kitchen if you have dishwasher and disposal and?
You should really try to have one dedicated to your refrigerator and one dedicated to your stove/oven (if electric). I believe you will not have any issues if the dishwasher and disposal are on the same circuit.

How can you replace a gas stove with an electric stove?
If you want to use an electric stove, first call a licensed gas fitter to remove the existing gas stove and make the gas pipe safe. Then call a licensed electrician to install a new power circuit for you, with the right size circuit breakers, the right size wiring and fit a new outlet of the right size and type to power an electric stove.

I have NEVER seen a range (or stove) that had a fuse. The panel box of the home may have a fuse or breaker that protects the circuit for the stove but it's not a part of the stove itself.
Can an appliance rated for 15A be operated safely on a 20A circuit?
Yes, as long as the circuit is not overloaded. Some kitchen appliances require a dedicated circuit depending on your local code. In my area the following require a dedicated circuit. Dish washer, refrigerator, microwave, garbage disposal, stove, and 2 separate dedicated circuits for all the rest of the kitchen receptacles. Check you local code. Yes.

How do you install a 240V hookup if there is a 120V outlet where you are replacing a gas stove with an electric one?
Get an electrician to wire you up a 220v line. Yes, with a caveat. The current ratings must be the same, and the the 110V outlet must be a dedicated circuit, i.e. nothing else on that breaker. You can safely upgrade a dedicated 110V 15A circuit to a 220V 15A circuit by re-using the same wiring. You will have to just replace the breaker and the outlet. You cannot, however, increase the current load or have a 110/220V (4-prong) outlet. Note that if you move a non-dedicated circuit up to 220 you will start a fire.
Is a gas stove a resistance in physical science?
No. By definition a resistor provides opposition to the flow of "energy" in a circuit. Electric stoves and ovens operate by using the heat generated by the resistance to electric flow provided by resisting elements in the circuit.

What are the benefits of having a gas kitchen stove rather than and electric kitchen stove?
Among the advantages of using a gas stove over an electric stove are the idea that, in the event of a power outage, a gas stove is always readily available to cook. Gas stoves also tend to be more accurate, as the temperature change is instant.
What could be a source of resistance in a household electric circuit?
Could be the wires, but more so anything that makes heat or light, like a stove, light bulb, or electric blanket.

How do you convert a gas stove to an electric stove?
You have a gas stove and want to convert that stove into an electric stove? Maybe it could be done, but at what cost to you?Disconnecting the gas pipes and installing new electric elements, and changing all the wires on a stove that was made to run on gas would prove to be VERY expensive. In fact it is not a good idea because it would cost you much less to buy a good secondhand or new electric stove AND have the right wiring installed to power it.If you really want to use an electric stove, first call a licensed gas fitter to remove the existing gas stove and make the gas pipe safe. Then call a licensed electrician to install a new power circuit for you, with the right size circuit breakers, the right size wiring and a new outlet to power an electric stove.Any field wiring changes to equipment or appliances will void the Underwriters Laboratory and CSA seal of approved equipment. Connection of this type of modified equipment has been known to null and void insurance policies .
