Answer:Founder Effect

Explanation:

Founder Effect Definition

This is a phenomena that refers to when a larger group which has been in one location splits apart into smaller groups as they move to different locations.

Irrespective of the traits acquired from the original large population , the newly formed small population will only take traits or resemblance from the founders of the smaller groups rather than from the original ancestors.

As the population get smaller so are the chances of losing all the traits from the original larger population.

This means as the population splits into smaller groups and locating into other areas they will eventually be genetically different from their original population from which they came from.

There is a chance of new species forming with totally different genes.

hence the South African Afrikaners do not resemble their original population anymore as a result of the founder effect.

To make a long-distance call, tom has to dial an unfamiliar phone number. he looks up the number but may have trouble retaining
Jobisdone [24]
The correct answer is short-term memory.

Short-term memory (STM) refers to our ability and capacity for retaining a small amount of information for a short period of time. Remembering an unfamiliar phone number entails the use of our STM. However, a phone number is difficult to retain in our STM because STM has a digit span of approximately seven units. This means that our STM can hold around seven digits of a phone number and not all (10+) of them.
