  1. 3. having only one chromosome of each type; gametes are haploid
  2. 7. union of two gametes that produces a diploid zygote
  3. 8. type of tissue in plants that transports fluid throughout the plant; consists of xylem and phloem
  4. 10. diploid generation in the life cycle of a plant that results from sexual reproduction with gametes and that produces spores for asexual reproduction
  5. 13. any substance in food that the body needs
  6. 14. coiled structure made of DNA and protein that is present during cell division and visible with a light microscope
  7. 17. type of plant that lacks vascular tissues, such as a liverwort, hornwort, or moss
  8. 20. protective layer outside the cell wall of many prokaryotes; protects the cell from chemicals and from drying out
