Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes, and since the sex-chromosome pair is #23, the autosome pairs are chromosome pairs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22.

Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes that carry genes unrelated to an organism's sex, with 22 pairs present in humans. These chromosomes are identical in both males and females and play a major role in determining a variety of traits. Examples include chromosomes 1, 7, and 11, which contribute to different genetic characteristics and disorders.
