The 22 pairs of human chromosomes that are identical in both males and females are known as autosomes. Each human cell typically contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, which encompass 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XX for females and XY for males).

Autosomes are responsible for the majority of the genetic inheritance that determines an individual’s physical traits, functions, and biological processes. They carry genes that influence various characteristics such as eye color, hair texture, blood type, and susceptibility to certain diseases. The remaining pair, the sex chromosomes, determines an individual's sex and can have traits linked specifically to male or female characteristics.

Understanding the structure and function of both autosomes and sex chromosomes is crucial for genetic studies and inheritance patterns.
