A. Autosomes vs. sex chromosomes. Sex chromosomes are those that carry important information for determining sex. There are two sex chromosomes in mammals, X and Y. The X chromosome, which is much larger than the Y, has a centrally positioned centromere. All other chromosomes are termed autosomes. Thus humans have 44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes. Or, 22 homologous pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes are homologous to one another.
