Sex chromosomes are also termed as allosomes (and the other chromosomes which are not sex chromosomes are termed as autosomes).

Sex chromosomes get this name since they have genes which determine the sex (female or male) of an individual. Sex chromosomes as well have genes associated to other biological functions.
