Answered by ssinbox007

Explanation:

Autosomes differ from sex chromosomes, which make up the 23rd pair of chromosomes in all normal human cells and come in two forms, called X and Y. Autosomes control the inheritance of all an organism's characteristics except the sex-linked ones, which are controlled by the sex chromosomes.
