False.
Having the wrong number of genes (e.g., aneuploidy or large copy-number changes) is usually harmful — it disrupts cell function and often causes cell death or disease. There are exceptions: some aneuploid cells survive (trisomy 21 in humans, many cancer cells, and polyploidy tolerated in many plants), but the general statement that they “will work well” is incorrect.
