8 is the chromosome number, q means the long arm of the chromosome, and the 24 is the position on the long arm. It's like coordinates to find the position on the chromosome.

What does the q in chromosome 8q24 mean?

The 'q' refers to the long arm of the chromosome. A prototypical condensed chromosome has two arms: a short arm and a long arm. The 'p' stands for the French word 'petit' (which means small). The 'q' doesn't stand for anything in particular, but because 'q' comes after 'p' in the alphabet, it is used to refer to the long arm of the chromosome.
