The chromosomes of living organisms usually have two chromosomes of the same
shape and size.

This is because they received one from each parent.

These two chromosomes are called "homologous chromosomes."

Therefore, in general, the number of chromosomes in an organism is an even number.

Dogs and chickens have the same number of chromosomes, but they are different species.

There are many creatures with a higher number of chromosomes than humans.

From this, it can be seen that the intelligence of the species and the number
of chromosomes are irrelevant.

Organisms of the same species except for mutations have the same number
of chromosomes.

Like humans and cows, even if the number of chromosomes is the same, if the shape
and size of the chromosomes are different, they are different species.
