All About Autosomes and Sex Chromosomes:
Let me start off by explaining that Autosomes and Sex Chromosomes are from the same chromosome, which contains 46 chromosomes total.
In each chromosome there are TWO Sex Chromosomes out of the total 46 chromosomes. Sex chromosomes are an X or Y chromosome that determines the sex of an organism.
Autosomes complete the rest of the 44 of 46 remaining chromosomes. They are chromosomes that do not determine the sex of an organism.
*This picture shows the 44 Autosomes and the 2 Sex Chromosomes making one complete chromosome.
