The correct answer is - position of the centromere, length, staining pattern, and traits coded for by their genes

Explanation:

The two chromosomes that are present in a pair of autosomes that are 22 in numbers in human and one sex-linked chromosome that is not like other autosomes.

Any two chromosomes of a pair of chromosomes like chromosome 14 are similar in shape and size, the staining pattern of both the chromosomes and the most important traits that they code for the same trait.

Thus, the correct answer is - position of the centromere, length, staining pattern, and traits coded for by their genes.
