Organisms in which each cell has only 1 of each kind of chromosome is

Haploid

Gigantic molecular structures in cells of organisms that are like libraries of instructions on how to build and maintain the organisms are

chromosomes

In the life cycle of chara, the following are diploid:

Zygote

A solution that bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) have developed for living on land is

Waxy leaves

The useful function for mosses that a thick mat of stems and rhizomes provides is

conserving water within the thick mat

The best time for mosses to reproduce is

when it rains

A usual and more efficient way for moss sperm to reach moss egg cells is

by being splashed in by rain drops

A Zygote is

An egg cell after it has been fertilized by a sperm cell; but before cell division starts

A Difference between Chara and bryophyte is

In chara the embryo has only one of each kind of chromosome, while in bryophytes, there are two of each kind

The process by which haploid moss gametes produce a diploid zygote, which will grow into a diploid sporophyte is

fertilization

Examples of gametes are..

Eggs and sperm
