Information on Chromosomes....?

Question

I know that we have 23 pair, & all of that stuff.

But I'm looking for a web site that can tell me which chromosome is responsible for what.

For Example, If there is a Chromosome responsible for your skin color, I want to know which one it is.

Thanks =)

Answer 1

I am sorry to say that this likely will not be too helpful. I think that our morphology/physiology etc is not specific to one chromosome. There might be small aspects from each of the chromosomes that work together to create such differences such as skin colour but I am not sure what they are. Look on (gasp) Wikipedia for each of the individual chromosomes. That will tell you at least a good place to start and even lists some genes and their products for some of them.  

Answer 2

it would be more worth while to look for which genes are responsible for specific characteristics.

Answer 3

There are genes on the chromosomes which give different phenotypes. One entire chromosomes does not give only one characteristic.  

Answer 4

specific:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/map_...

more general yet also specific:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomes

just go down to where it say chromosome 1 and click on it and look at what's in it, then do that for the others too
