Autosome
An autosome is a non-sex chromosome. It is an ordinary paired chromosome that is the same in both sexes of a species. For example, in humans, there are 22 pairs of autosomes. The X and Y chromosomes are not autosomal.

autosome Any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome.
autotomy The self amputation of an appendage. For example, the casting off of a section of a lizard's tail caught in the grasp of a predator. The autotomized appendage is usually regenerated.

5 pairs of autosomes and, usually,
2 X chromosomes.
These animals are hermaphrodites, producing both sperm and eggs.
Most of the time they fertilize themselves, so that any recessive alleles quickly become homozygous and affect the phenotype.

Unlike the twenty-two pairs of autosomes, there is no recombination between the X and most of the Y chromosome.

The gene is connected to X chromosome or some autosome, making it the new Y chromosome. The whole process starts again. This happened with two species of rodents (Ellobius tancrei and E. lutescens).

These flies were derived from compound autosome strains such that heterotypic matings would produce no progeny. The two strains were reared together in common fly cages.

The genome of Drosophila contains 4 pairs of chromosomes: an X/Y pair, and three autosomes labeled 2, 3, and 4. The fourth chromosome is so tiny that it is often ignored. The genome contains about 165 million bases and approximately 14,000 genes.

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total) chromosomes. Two of these are called sex chromosomes, the other 44 are called autosomes.

Genes in the pseudoautosomal region are not sex-linked.
Recombination frequencies in this region are 20 fold higher than on autosomes.
