Sex chromosome abnormalities are far more common than abnormalities of the other 44 chromosomes (the autosomes) because they rarely produce deadly diseases.
Genetic defects can be associated with autosome and chromosome abnormalities.

genetic defects are responsible for disorders can be on any chromosome wether it is and autosome or a sex chromosome.
autosomal chromosomes carry diverse info sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex ---- ok, that is some other dude's answer, now here is mine: the autosomal is all the chromosomes, except for the sex chromosomes. so, in a sense, the autosomal has nothing to do with the sex chromosomes. sex chromosomes determine the offspring's sex, as the guy above said it. autosomal is simply all of the other chromosomes ----- For A+ the answer is "Autosomal chromosomes carry diverse information; sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex."
Cause body cells have twice the chromosomes a sex cell has Body cells have 46 chromosomes and sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
Sex cells, called gametes, are different to other cells in that they contain half the number of chromosomes. So in a human sex cell, there are 23 chromosomes, whereas a normal human cell has 46 chromosomes.
A karyotype provides information about the number, size, and structure of an individual's chromosomes. It can be used to diagnose genetic disorders, identify chromosomal abnormalities, and determine the sex of an individual based on the presence of sex chromosomes.
The sex cells have half the chromosomes that were in the parent cell.
The human X and Y chromosomes are:both present in every somatic cell of males and females.approximately equal in size.almost entirely homologous, despite their different names.called "sex chromosomes" because they determine an individual's sex.
Chromosomal disorders are caused by abnormalities in the chromosomes.
