Does anyone know a website that has information about which human chromosomes contain which genes?

Try going to the pubmed site, and then OMIM.

Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes in a biological cell that pair (synapse) during meiosis, or alternatively, non-identical chromosomes that contain information for the same biological features and contain the same genes at the same loci but possibly different genetic information, called alleles, at those genes. For example, two chromosomes may have genes encoding eye colour, but one may code for brown eyes, the other for blue.\n\nNon-homologous chromosomes representing all the biological features of an organism form a set, and the number of sets in a cell is called ploidy. In diploid organisms (most plants and animals), each homologous chromosome is inherited from a different parent. But polyploid organisms have more than two homologous chromosomes.\n\nHomologous chromosomes are similar in length, except for sex chromosomes in several taxa, where the X chromosome is considerably larger than the Y chromosome. These chromosomes share only small regions of homology.\n\nHumans have 22 pairs of homologous non-sex chromosomes (called autosomes). Each member of a pair is inherited from one of their two parents. In addition, female humans have a homologous pair of X sex chromosomes; males have an X and a Y chromosome.

human cells contain 46 chromosomes\n\nthey go through a process of mitotic division that basically replicates each chromosome, the original and replicated chromosomes then migrate to opposite ends of the cells, and a cell membrane is formed, thus producing two progeny cells, division and the cycle of the cell is complete.\n\n\nmeotic division is a more complex process, but basically, the daughter cells contain 23 chromosomes, that is 1 of each pair of the 46 chromosomes is present in the daughter cell, where, whether it is a sperm or egg cell, when fused together, provide the fused cell with 46 chromosomes\n\n\n\n\nhope it helped you understand it a little better\n\nthere are however, different phases to the division process and if you like I can send you a link, depends on how much you want to know at present?

Each chromosome approximately contains 500 million genetic code words. Imagine about the information in total 46 chromosomes and you can calculate the no. of pages if a page can approximately contain 500-600 words.

Each chromosome has a specific morphology that can be visualized in a karyotype and in humans are numbered 1-22 or labeled X or Y.  Most chromosomes have a long arm called the "q" arm and a short arm "p" joined together by the centrosome.  A study referring to 21q is probably referring to a region or specific gene located on the long arm of chromosome 21.  \nHope this helps,\n\nI found a web site to help you if you want more info.

25,000\n\n\nTypical numbers of genes in an organism\n\nThe following table gives typical numbers of genes and genome size for some organisms. Estimates of the number of genes in an organism are somewhat controversial because they depend on the discovery of genes, and no techniques currently exist to prove that a DNA sequence contains no gene. (In early genetics, genes could be identified only if there were mutations, or alleles.) Nonetheless, estimates are made based on current knowledge.\n\n\norganism genes base pairs\nPlant <50,000 <1011\nHuman, mouse or rat 25,000 3×109\nFruit Fly 13,767 1.3×108\nHoney bee 15,000 3×108\nWorm 19,000 9.7×107\nFungus 6,000 1.3×107\nBacterium 500–6,000 5×105–107\nMycoplasma genitalium 500 580,000\nDNA virus 10–900 5,000–800,000\nRNA virus 1–25 1,000–23,000\nViroid 0–1 ~500

Not too sure if you're interested in this type of stuff. http://www.getbodysmart.com\nhttp://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio201/brain/brshpx.htm\nalso the bbc.uk website has some interactive stuff where you have to match the parts to where they belong.

Chromosomes are tightly packaged bundles of chromatin.  Both are composed of DNA and carry genetic information.  Chromatin condenses to chromosomes when the cell is about to divide.

"The case of a young man with del(2) (p11.2p13) is reported. Accounts of previous cases of deletion of the short arm of chromosome 2 are reviewed. Common features include mental retardation, proportional short stature and weight, dysmorphic facial features (a prominent nose, abnormal ears), and abnormal hands. Growth and developmental delay are present during the postnatal period"\n\nhttp://jmg.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/abstract/30/7/604

hey a correction there.... Genes are actually a small string of bases on a dna chain...so a dna chain has many genes.... and these dna are located in the chromosomes...not vice versa. chromsomes are in the nucleus of all cells.

A chromosome is a WHOLE DNA molecule, so an allele has one molecule (one chromosome)

No. We don't even have that information for the human species as whole, much less for any individual.\n\nIf you have a few thousand dollars to spend you could get your genome sequenced completely. That stil wouldn't tell you what traits you have and wouldn't even tell you very much about what genes you have. But thatis the absolute best you can hope for.
