What Wikipedia says

An autosome is any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome. The members of an autosome pair in a diploid cell typically have the same morphology (homomorphic), unlike those in allosomal (sex chromosome) pairs, which may have different structures. The DNA in autosomes is collectively known as atDNA or auDNA.
