each chromosome has thousands of genes that play an important role in determining how an organism develops and functions
Prokaryotic organisms such as Bacteria have circular form of chromosomes
Not necessarily. The number of chromosomes does not correlate directly with an organism's ability to reproduce. Organisms with different numbers of chromosomes have evolved various mechanisms to reproduce successfully, and factors like genetic diversity and adaptability are more important for reproductive success than just the number of chromosomes.
No, a gamete has half the number of chromosomes as compared to the organisms body cells.
An organisms gets its chromosomes from its parent(s).
Euploid organisms have a chromosome number that is an exact multiple of the haploid number (Euploid organisms may however, exhibit either an increase or a decrease in the chromosome number). Aneuploid organisms however, have altered genomes - they either lack chromosomes or have extra ones.
Chromosomes carry genetic material from generation to generation and help in evolution of better adapted organisms, hence these are important for each organism.

Chromosomes are not defined as organisms, but they are found in organisms. The chromosomes are part of an organism's genetic information. ~KKMG1

in the nucleus
Chromosomes contain the genes or the DNA of all organisms. Being more complex, does not mean that you have more chromosomes, for example: a human being has 48 chromosomes while chickens and dogs both have 78.
Most tetraploid organisms are fertile because they have four chromosomes. Triploids on the other hand have three chromosomes which make it infertile.
