Your assumption that humans somehow live longer than most other animals seems to be a misconception. You see, it is not only humans, but most large animals around our size, and larger, which live longer (for example, sea turtles live up to 200 years).

Autosomes appear in pairs whose members have the same form but differ from other pairs in a diploid cell, whereas members of an allosome pair may differ from one another and thereby determine sex.
â¢ The major difference between the chromosome and autosome is that, every autosome is a chromosome, whereas all chromosomes are not autosomes. There are other sex chromosomes too. â¢ Mainly autosomes determine the other characteristics except the sex determination, whereas some of the chromosomes determine the gender.
