Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of chromosomes is not related to the complexity of the organism. Humans have a total of 2n=46 or 23 pairs of chromosomes while the average earthworm has 2n=36 or 18 pairs. The complexity of the organism is related to the way the chromosomes are structured inside of the organism.
