no its fine, chromosome number varies a lot between species, but high chromosome number doesnt automatically mean high complexity.

…humans have 46 chromosomes (thats 23 pairs)
wheras a type of fern, Ophioglossum reticulatum, has 1440, and fruit flys have 8.

humans are more complex than both, by far, and yet they're still between the two in terms of chromosome count

if you say 'drosophila melanogaster can fly'
you are correct
me bringing a sample of a single one that has had its wings cut off doesnt invaidate the statement.
