Key terms Haploid (1N or N) –one copy of each chromosome –gametophytes are haploid –Formed by meiosis (reduction cell division); pairs of chromosomes are divided into different cells –Each daughter cell gets one of each chromosome Diploid (2N) –two copies of each chromosome –Formed by union of sperm & egg (forms a zygote) –Sporophytes are diploid Mitosis – cell division in which all chromosomes are copied; produces two cells with identical genetic material Annual – one year life cycle; Biennial – 2 growing seasons; Perennial – lives for several years, reproduces every year
