The chromosome number is specific for each type of organism.The exact chromosome number must be maintained for the species to continue. This means that as cells reproduce, the new cells must have the same number of chromosomes as did the original cells.

"Meiosis" is the process that maintains a constant number of chromosomes within a species

Hope this helps!
