Autosomal genes are the genes that make up your average chromosomes that contain the basic body features. Such as bone, skin, eyes, and etc. These give a person the basic structure and basic of the development. The sex genes are either X or Y which determine if you are a male or female.

Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes that determine an organism's general traits and characteristics, such as hair color or height. In humans, autosomes come in pairs, with one inherited from each parent. They are responsible for most genetic inheritance unrelated to sex determination.
