An allosome is a sex chromosome which differs from an ordinary autosome in form, size, or behaviour.
allosome
Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes found in both males and females, while allosomes (sex chromosomes) determine an individual's sex. Autosomes carry genetic information for most traits, while allosomes determine secondary sexual characteristics. In humans, autosomes are numbered 1-22, while allosomes are designated as X and Y.
The 44 chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes. 1st through the 22nd pair. The X and Y chromosomes are the only chromosomes not autosomes.
allosome
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.
Both X and Y chromosomes i.e. Allosome 23rd pair contains sex linked genes.
Sperms contribute the genetic material through haploid set of chromosomes (23 in number). The type of allosome or sex chromosome carried by the sperm i.e. x or Y determines the sex of the baby born.

Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes, which make up 44 total autosomes in each cell of the body. These autosomes are responsible for carrying the majority of an individual's genetic information, excluding the sex chromosomes.
