Answer:

Heat energy

Explanation:

Energy is the ability to do work or perform a task. Energy exists in different forms depending on the source. As mentioned in the question, the moving car uses kinetic energy, which is a type of mechanical energy an object possesses in motion.

However, when the driver of the car applies the brakes, friction is produced between the tyres of the car and the ground in order to stop the car. Friction is a force that opposes two objects in motion. When friction is applied, heat is produced. Hence, when the moving car stops due to the friction produces, heat is released in the process.

Therefore, it can be said that the mechanical energy (kinetic energy) of that car was converted to heat energy when it stopped as a result of friction.

<h2>Down Syndrome</h2>

Explanation:

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21

  • Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21
  • Down syndrome is usually caused by an error in cell division called nondisjunction which results in an embryo with three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two
  • Prior to or at conception, a pair of 21st chromosomes in either the sperm or the egg fails to separates
  • With development in embryo the extra chromosome is replicated in every cell of the body;this type of Down syndrome which accounts for 95% of cases is called trisomy 21
  • Maternal age is the only factor that has been linked to an increased chance of having a baby with Down syndrome resulting from nondisjunction;here environmental agents such as drugs, chemicals, and radiation act as mutagens which induce mutation in the fetus
