Chromosomes except the X and Y sex chromosomes are called autosomes.

Here's a breakdown:

* Autosomes: These are the non-sex chromosomes, and they determine traits like eye color, hair color, height, etc. Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes.

* Sex chromosomes: These determine the sex of an individual. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY).
