When a gene inherited from one parent masks the expression of the gene inherited from the other parent that gene is said to be?

A gene whose phenotypic expression is masked by the presence of another is generally called the recessive gene. However, it can still be passed onto offspring.

What is when neither copy of an allele completely masks expression of the other but instead a blending of alleles is seen?
dominance :) i think its dominance.
Can Cystic fibrosis be prevented?
Cystic Fibrosis cannot be prevented. It is an inherited disease, so there is no possible way to prevent something inherited. One parent will be a carrier and so will the other parent, therefore resulting in the child having CF.
What is expressed when neither copy of an allele completely masks expression of the other but instead a blending of alleles is seen.?
When neither copy of an allele is completely expressed or completely masked, it is called Incomplete Dominance. When incomplete dominance is present, then the offspring will have a blend of both parental phenotypes but will always be a slight bit slower to one parent than the other.
Can all the gene pairs from one parent can congregate in one gamete and those from the other parent in the other gamete?
No
How are blue eyes and brown eyes inherited?
Brown eye gene = B Blue eye gene = b Each person has two copies of the eye color gene in their genome, one inherited from each parent. Now if both parents only carry the gene for brown eyes, BB and BB, then their child will receive one B from each parent, ending up as BB. The same works for blue eyes, if that's the only gene both parents carry, bb and bb. Each parents gives on b to the child, who ends up as bb. If you have one parent who only has the gene for brown eyes, BB, and one parent who only has the gene for blue eyes, bb, then all the children will have brown eyes. Example: One parent gives a B, the other gives a b. Bb = brown eyes. Here's why: When you have two alleles (coding sequences) from genes that are at odds with each other, one version will override the the other. When dealing with eye color, B always dominates b. But these children now carry the b gene in them, and could pass it down to their own children. Some of them, depending on the other parent, could end up with blue eyes. If one parent is Bb, and the other is bb, then each time they have a child, there is a 50% chance it will have blue eyes. Example: First parent is Bb, second parent is bb, then their children will end up as either Bb, bb, Bb, bb. If both parents carry the genes for brown eyes and blue eyes, then each time they have a child, there is a 25% chance it will have blue eyes. Example: First parent is Bb, second parent is Bb, then their children will end up as either BB, Bb, Bb, bb.
What expression when neither copy of an allele completely masks expression of the other but instead a blending of alleles is seen?
When neither copy of an allele is completely expressed or completely masked, it is called Incomplete Dominance. When incomplete dominance is present, then the offspring will have a blend of both parental phenotypes but will always be a slight bit slower to one parent than the other.
What are the reason for reading for comprehension?
It may be just inherited from a parent or parents. There are other possibilities too.
What is expressed when neither copy of an allele completely masks expression of the other but instead a bending of alleles is seen?
incomplete dominance
What is it called when neither copy of an allele completely masks expression of the other but instead a blending of alleles is seen?
i think its codominance
What are alleles and how are they inherited from parent cells?
Any of the alternative forms if a gene or other homologous DNA sequence
What is expressed when niether copy of allele completely masks expression of the other but instead a blending of alleles is seen?

When the trait has more two alleles how is the trait inherited?
One parent has a recessive trait. For example: One parent has blood type AB, the other has blood type OO.
Is AB blood type co-dominate alleles?
yes, that is exactly what AB blood is and that is how blood type is inherited. Nice work
