An autosome is a non-sex chromosome. It is an ordinarily paired type of chromosome that is the same in both sexes of a species. For example, in humans, there are 22 pairs of autosomes. The X and Y chromosomes are not autosomal. Non-autosomal chromosomes are usually referred to as sex chromosomes, allosomes or heterosomes.

Diploid is 2n while haploid is n. The actual number (represented by n) varies by species. In humans, n = 23. A haploid gamete (sex cell, e.g. egg or sperm) is n (23 chromosomes). An autosome (body cell) is 2n, diploid, which is 2x23, equaling 46 chromosomes in the human body cells.
