What does it mean to say that a life cycle is dominated by the gametophyte versus the sporophyte stage?
When a life cycle is dominated by the gametophyte stage, it means that the plant spends most of its life as a haploid gametophyte producing gametes. Conversely, when a life cycle is dominated by the sporophyte stage, the plant spends most of its life as a diploid sporophyte producing spores.

Ferns have a dominant sporophyte and a reduced gametophyte. As for moss, it depends on the type. If referring to mosses under the phylum Bryophyta (these are the nonvascular mosses) they have a dominant gametophyte. If referring to mosses under seedless vascular category, such as club mosses in the phylum Lycophyta, these plants have a dominant sporophyte and a reduced gametophyte.
