Why does gene become angry with leper?
Gene becomes angry with Leper because he believes Leper has betrayed the group by fleeing the war and being discharged for being "crazy." Gene sees Leper's actions as weak and selfish, and the news of his breakdown forces Gene to confront his own insecurities and fears about his own capabilities in the war.
A gene that can be masked by another gene is called?
A gene that can be masked by another gene is referred to as a recessive gene. This means that the trait associated with the recessive gene is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present.
Is the Rh blood group determined by a single gene?
The Rh blood group is determined by a single gene with two alleles-- positive and negative. The positive (Rh+) allele is dominant, so persons who are Rh+/Rh+ or Rh+/Rh- are said to be Rh-positive. Individuals with two Rh- alleles are Rh-negative. Citation Hall, Prentice "Biology" Upper Saddle River, New Jersey, 2002 Page 344 in human genes subtitle, blood group genes subsection , paragraph 2
What is a version of a gene that masks the effect of another version?
A dominant gene is a version of a gene that will be expressed and mask the effect of a recessive gene in a heterozygous individual.
Which of these is a gene that does not express itself and is concealed by the presence of another gene of the same trait?
A recessive gene is a gene that does not express itself in the presence of a dominant gene of the same trait. When an individual inherits two recessive genes for a trait, the recessive gene will be expressed.

What implication does the selfish gene have for biology directing behavior and why does this force evolutionists to live a contradiction?
This question is dangerously misleading. Firstly, it assumes a misconception about evolution, natural selection, and animal behavior; namely, that evolution requires selfish behavior. Nothing could be further from the truth. All evolution says is, if I possess a heritable trait that enables me to successfully raise more offspring than others, then my trait will become more common in a population. Consider a heritable behavioral trait that encourages cooperation. In many species such behavior results in reproductive success over purely selfish behavior. It will therefore become more common in the population. Secondly, the selfish gene concept is only from the gene's 'point of view', not the organism's. Genes that contribute to reproductive success will become more common. If they influence behavior that will enable organisms to have more offspring that reach maturity than those that do not, then those genes will be successful over time. Cooperative, altruistic behavior has been shown to produce reproductive success in many species, thus the genes that influence such behavior will increase in frequency in the population. Therefore, the selfish gene concept does not contain an inherent contradiction.
