Sex chromosomes can be either x or y: x+x=girl, x+y= boy.
yyx and xxy occur sometimes but these children have developmental problems and are infertile. xxy is called Klinefelter's syndrome.
Because there are some alleles attached to the x chromosome that cannot be paired with a y chromosome, there are some conditions that a male can get but are rare for a female. Colour blindness and haemophilia are conditions that are carried on the x chromosome, females have two x chromosomes so the condition does not manifest itself whereas males have one x chromosome so that chromosome can dominate.
sex chromosomes
non-sex chromosomes
The pair of chromosomes involved in sex determination is called sex chromosomes, rest of the chromosomes are called autosomes.
Autosomes are the somatic chromosomes which control the body characters or somatic characters, Whereas Sex chromosomes are the allosomes which determines sex of an individual
genes located on sex chromosomes are called sex-linked genes. In humans, there are two types of sex chromosomes: X and Y chromosomes.Genes located on the X chromosome are called X-linked and genes located on the Y chromosome are called Y-linked chromosomes.

sex chromosomes
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."
The 22 pairs of chromosomes that aren't the sex chromosomes are known as the autosomal chromosomes. The X and Y chromosomes are the sex chromosomes.
non-sex chromosomes
Sex chromosomes and autosomes are from the same chromosome, The chromosome has 46 chromosomes and 2 of them are sex chromosomes and the rest are called autosomes
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."
homologous chromosomes and autosomal chromosomes
The pair of chromosomes involved in sex determination is called sex chromosomes, rest of the chromosomes are called autosomes.
All the chromosomes except the sex chromosomes.
Autosomes are the somatic chromosomes which control the body characters or somatic characters, Whereas Sex chromosomes are the allosomes which determines sex of an individual
