Detailed explanation-1: -An autosome is any of the chromosome not considered as a sex chromosome. It is chiefly associated with the various metabolic functions of the cell except for sex determination. It occurs in pairs in somatic cells and singly in sex cells (gametes).

Detailed explanation-2: -An autosome is any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome. The members of an autosome pair in a diploid cell have the same morphology, unlike those in allosomal (sex chromosome) pairs, which may have different structures. The DNA in autosomes is collectively known as atDNA or auDNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -The 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, differ between males and females. Females have two copies of the X chromosome, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. The 22 autosomes are numbered by size. The other two chromosomes, X and Y, are the sex chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Autosomal chromosomes are numbered 1-22. The sex chromosomes (X and Y chromosomes) determine whether an individual is male or female and are not considered autosomal chromosomes. One of the ways a genetic trait or a genetic condition can be inherited.

Detailed explanation-5: -In humans, males have one of each while females have two X chromosomes. Autosomes are those chromosomes present in the same number in males and females, while sex chromosomes are those that are not.
