Inherited solely through the female line, the DNA code found in mitochondria accumulates mutations in its code quickly, original ly know about," Crandall said. "It's the beginning of the education process." Patrick Nduru Gathogo, a U student studying geology, contributed to that process by teaching the children about Kenya, the home he left a year and a half ago to come to the U. "I have the opportunity to help the kids learn about things from Kenya," Gathogo said, adding that the children "are very interested" in his assortment of carvings, wooden chairs and baskets. "It's good for them to appreciate other countries in the world." Like Tekeste, Gathogo volunteered for Africa Day. And like Tekeste, he delights in teaching people the unique customs and history of a home he says he misses "a lot more than enough." Crandall says that despite the advanced technology of the 21st century, there is much to be learned from and about Africa. "Even though we are in the 21st century, not very much is known about the African continent," she said. "People still think it's a country, but there are 54 countries and thousands of languages." Crandall hoped to make Africa Day an annual event, and if she gets her wish, more people will have the opportunity to learn about places like Eritrea and Kenya, that there is more to Africa than starving and wars, that the continent is rife with unique cultures and traditions. And students like Tekeste and Gathogo will have the opportunity to represent homelands that they love and miss. O'Rourke said. Mitochondrial DNA provides information about the recent genetic history of a group of people because it collects mutations. Since mitochondrial DNA is inherited only from the maternal line, O'Rourke speculated that perhaps women are more stationary than men. This would explain why variations in mitochondrial genes tend to stay put. Even though ancient DNA research is being conducted around the world, results showing the consistent variation among regions elsewhere in the world have yet to emerge and confirm work -- VV;.
