Does the number of chromosomes correlate to the species?

Answer:
If you are asking if the number of chromosomes has something to do with the type of organism or perhaps its complexity, then no. Although it seems logical that more chromosomes should give rise to a more complex organism or at least be indicative of whether you're looking at an insect or mammal, the number of chromosomes has no correlation to the type of species.
