What is the difference between autosomes and sex chromosomes?
Autosomes determine sex, while sex chromosomes determine all other traits.
Autosomes are present in all cells, while sex chromosomes are only found in gametes.
Autosomes carry genes unrelated to sex, while sex chromosomes carry genes related to sex determination.
Autosomes are numbered, while sex chromosomes are lettered.
Forklaring
Autosomes are all other chromosomes and do not play a role in sex determination
