Does CiviCRM have the capability to branch off from one "select" option to the next?

For example; is it possible to have a custom data field with the type "select" with a list containing numbers 1-10.
If I select 3 it will then open up 3 more text areas and again If I select 5 it will open up 5 more text areas?

i.e.

Number of People: [3]    <-(user selects the number 3)
           
           Name of person: John               <-(User then has the option to enter in the name of the people)
           Name of person: Mary
           Name of person: Matt

This is more so a yes or no question; I have an alternative solution; [just using the multi-select field] however I would like to explore every aspect possible.

Thank you!

If you created your options you could add a bit of javascript to the form to hide/show them as appropriate.
Alternately if you create your form using Drupal Webform CiviCRM Integration then you can configure it using conditional fields and no need for writing your own js.
