Cytogenetic banding nomenclature. The shorter arm of a chromosome is termed the p arm or p-arm, while the longer arm is the q arm or q-arm.The chromosomal locus of a typical gene, for example, might be written 3p22.1, where: [citation needed]
Paternally-derived chromosome rearrangement psu dic: pseudo dicentric – only one centromere in a dicentric chromosome is active q: Long arm of a chromosome r: Ring chromosome t: Translocation: ter: Terminal end of arm (e.g. 2qter refers to the end of the long arm of chromosome 2) tri: Trisomy: trp: Triplication of a portion of a chromosome
Three chromosomal abnormalities with ISCN nomenclature, with increasing complexity: (A) A tumour karyotype in a male with loss of the Y chromosome, (B) Prader–Willi Syndrome i.e. deletion in the 15q11-q12 region and (C) an arbitrary karyotype that involves a variety of autosomal and allosomal abnormalities.

The information in the second set of parentheses, when given, gives the precise location within the chromosome for chromosomes A and B respectively—with p indicating the short arm of the chromosome, q indicating the long arm, and the numbers after p or q refers to regions, bands and sub-bands seen when staining the chromosome with a staining ...
Gene nomenclature is the scientific naming of genes, the units of heredity in living organisms. It is also closely associated with protein nomenclature, as genes and the proteins they code for usually have similar nomenclature. An international committee published recommendations for genetic symbols and nomenclature in 1957. [1]
If the chromosome is a submetacentric chromosome (One arm big and the other arm small) then the centromere divides each chromosome into two regions: the smaller one, which is the p region, and the bigger one, the q region. The sister chromatids will be distributed to each daughter cell at the end of the cell division.
