Yes they do. Some species have the same number of chromosomes but not all.
Most organisms have a specific number of chromosomes that is characteristic for their species. For example, humans typically have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), while dogs have 78 chromosomes (39 pairs). However, the number of chromosomes can vary among different species.
Not necessarily. While many members of the same species may have the same number of chromosomes, it does not guarantee that two organisms with the same number of chromosomes are of the same species. Chromosome number is just one characteristic used to define species, but other factors like genetic makeup, morphology, and ability to reproduce with one another are also important in determining species classification.
It depends on the type of eukaryotic organism. For example, both humans and fruit flies are a part of the kingdom Animalia, which is composed solely of eukaryotic organisms. However, humans have 43 chromosomes in 23 homologous pairs, while fruit flies have 8 chromosomes in 4 homologous pairs.
In humans, the diploid number (or 2n) is 46. Somatic cells contain 2n number of chromosomes. Somatic cells are those that make up the body. Every cells that makes up every organ contains 2n number of chromosomes. Gametes (or sex cells) contain haploid (n) number of chromosomes
A housefly has 12 chromosomes in a diploid. Every living organism on the planet has a chromosome number represented by a diploid number (2n).

Every species has a fixed number of chromosomes in its nucleus so every species has a different chromosome number from the other.
Chromosome number is used in species identification because it is a stable and unique characteristic of a species. Variations in chromosome number can indicate genetic relationships between species, and can help distinguish between closely related species. Additionally, chromosome number is often conserved within a species, making it a useful tool for taxonomic classification.
A species that meets this criterion is Homo sapiens (humans), where individuals typically have the same number and pattern of fingers and toes each time they are formed.
Well, every species is different as different species have different numbers of chromosomes. So it would depend on the organism. But, if you are asking about humans. Humans have 46 chromosomes. So a human sperm would have 23 chromosomes.
Chromosomes are comprised of DNA. Chromosomes are located inside the nucleus of every cell. There are exactly 46 chromosomes in every one of your body's cells.

Well I can help with some, lung, breast, liver, and more. Pretty much every [almost every] part of the body can have cancer. There's also cancer of the mouth. Pancreatic. Usually, cancers are identified by what organ or tissue they came from, but it's lots more complicated. Some of us now know that the prime characteristic is that cancers are aneuploid. That is that each cancer has broken or missing or extra chromosomes. Since a species is defined by what chromosomes it has, practically every cancer is a new species. When oncologists say there are 250 different cancers, they vastly underestimate the number. The real number is more like 250 million different cancers and more every day. Even so, there are some experimental cancer cures in clinical trials that seem promising for a wide range of cancers.
Chromosome numbers in gametes are always half that of normal cell. For example human cells have 46 chromosomes but a human gamete (sex cell e.g sperm/eggs) will have half that number which in this case will be 23. The number is chromosomes is halfed in gametes so that when the sperm meets the egg and the fuse to make a zygote that you get half the genetic material from your Mother and half from you Father, meaning you are not a clone.
because every chromosome must have a pair to survive
A fox has a diploid number of 50, meaning that in every cell there are 50 chromosomes. Thus, the haploid sperm cell only has 25 chromosomes.
