Both autosomes and sex chromosomes are types of chromosomes that carry genetic information and are crucial for inheritance. They both consist of DNA and proteins, and they play a role in determining an organism's traits. Additionally, each individual inherits one set of chromosomes from each parent, regardless of whether they are autosomes or sex chromosomes. However, while autosomes are the same in both sexes, sex chromosomes determine the biological sex of an organism and differ between males and females.
Yes, an autosome is a non-sex chromosome. Autosomes are chromosomes that are not involved in determining an individual's sex and are the same in males and females. Human cells have 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes.
An allosome is a sex chromosome which differs from an ordinary autosome in form, size, or behaviour.
An example of an autosome is chromosome 1 in humans. Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes that are the same in both males and females. They contain genes responsible for various traits and functions in the body.
Normal body cells contain pairs of chromosomes. For example, in humans there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. Of these, 22 pairs (=44 chromosomes) are autosomes and one pair is the sex chromosomes. When gametes are made the number of chromosomes is halved. This is so that when two gametes fuse during fertilisation, the normal chromosome number is restored. So in humans, gametes contain 23 singlechromosomes. Of the 23 single chromosomes in a gamete, 22will be autosomes and one will be a sex chromosome. So, if your question is about humans, the answer is: 22. See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/biology/cellprocesses/celldivisionrev3.shtml
Genetic defects can be associated with abnormalities in both autosomes (non-sex chromosomes) and sex chromosomes. Autosomal genetic defects are usually inherited in a dominant or recessive manner, affecting both males and females. Sex chromosome abnormalities, such as Turner syndrome or Klinefelter syndrome, involve abnormalities in the X or Y chromosomes and typically lead to specific developmental or reproductive issues.
An autosome is any of the 23 chromosomes which is not an X or Y chromosome. A sex chromosome is effectively the same as an autosome, apart from depending upon whether you inherit a Y chromosome or not, a sex chromosome will determine your gender. Hence the name.

the autosome do not control the sex organs . but the sex chromosome control the sex organs

An autosome is a type of chromosome that does not happen to be a sex chromosome (allosome). Humans will each have 42 autosome chromosomes and one pair of allosome chromosomes.
The gene that causes cystic fibrosis is located on chromosome 7, which is an autosome, not a sex chromosome.
It is both. All chromosomes that are not sex-chromosomes (X or Y) are known as autosomes.
An auto-some is any of the 23 chromosomes which is not an X or Y chromosome. A sex chromosome is effectively the same as an auto-some, apart from depending upon whether you inherit a Y chromosome or not, a sex chromosome will determine your gender. Hence the name. -By SciienceFreak

The chromosomes you are referring to are called autosomes.
