Detailed explanation-1: -Non-sex chromosomes are also called autosomes. Autosomes come in pairs of homologous chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes have the same genes arranged in the same order. So for all of the genes on the autosomes, both males and females have two copies.

Detailed explanation-2: -Autosomes are all the chromosomes except the X or Y chromosome, and they do not differ between males and females, so autosomal traits are inherited in the same way regardless of the sex of the parent or offspring. Traits controlled by genes on the sex chromosomes are called sex-linked traits.

Detailed explanation-3: -Autosomal means that a specific gene is not on a sex chromosome and is a numbered chromosome. Humans have 46 total chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -It can be either an autosomal chromosome or a sex chromosome. It also depends on whether the trait is dominant or recessive. Sex-linked diseases are inherited through one of the sex chromosomes, which are the X and Y chromosomes.
