autosomes, or sex-linked genes, usually do not have extra chromosomes. The only exception is Kleinfelter's syndome, which is a male that instead of having the chromosomes XY he has XXY, which could cause him to have some womanly features, such as a smaller height or fuller breasts. It is also common that a man with Kleinfelters is sterile

This depends on the number of chromosomes the species has, and whether or not they have sex chromosomes. Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes, and somatic cells are cells with the full complement of chromosomes, i.e, are not gametes. Let's consider humans as our example. A human somatic cell carries a total of 46 chromosomes (23 homologous pairs). One pair of these are the sex chromosomes (an XX pair for females and an XY pair for males). That leaves 22 pairs of automes, for a total of 44.
