Yes. Autosomes CAN have lethal recessive genes, but that does not mean they always contain recessive mutations.
When a person inherits two of the recessive gene, one from each heterogenous parent.
Recessive genes
Autosomes
Their offspring will have dominant genes. However, if these offspring have offspring with an amimal with recessive genes, the recessive genes will show up.
Yes, dominant and recessive genes play a role in determining physical traits in offspring. Dominant genes are more likely to be expressed in the phenotype, while recessive genes are typically masked unless an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele. This interplay between dominant and recessive genes contributes to the variety of physical characteristics seen in offspring.

The dominant genes take over, and then the recessive genes hide away
Dominant genes are always expressed in preference to recessive genes in cased where both genes are present.
No, genes located on autosomes are not considered sex-linked genes. Sex-linked genes are located on the sex chromosomes (X and Y) and usually show different inheritance patterns in males and females. Autosomes contain genes that are inherited equally by both sexes.
Recessive genes
Autosomes
Homozygous dominant for two dominant genes or homozygous recessive for two recessive genes.
Recessive genes do not become dominant. Dominant genes mask the expression of recessive genes in the presence of both alleles. However, if a recessive gene is selected for over time through breeding, it can become more prevalent in a population.
Their offspring will have dominant genes. However, if these offspring have offspring with an amimal with recessive genes, the recessive genes will show up.
In an autosomal recessive cross, both genders are equally affected because the genes involved are located on autosomes, which are not sex chromosomes. Therefore, both males and females have an equal chance of inheriting the recessive alleles from their parents. The expression of the trait depends solely on the genotype rather than the sex of the individual.
The weaker of two genes is called the recessive gene. In the presence of a dominant gene, the recessive gene is not expressed in the organism's phenotype.
