This is called co-dominance. Both alleles are expressed. For example, if white and red in a flower are co-dominant, the offspring will have both red and white petals in a flower.

This condition is called codominance. In codominance, neither gene is dominant over the other, so both are expressed in the phenotype. This results in a unique expression of both traits in the individual.
incomplete dominance
This phenomenon is called epistasis. Epistasis occurs when the effect of one gene masks or modifies the effect(s) of one or more other genes, leading to the alteration of the expected phenotypic ratio.
The cumulative effect of two pairs of genes refers to the combined influence of both pairs on an organism's phenotype. This can result in additive effects, where the traits from each pair of genes contribute independently, or epistasis, where the effect of one pair of genes masks or modifies the expression of the other pair. Ultimately, the interaction between these gene pairs determines the overall phenotype of the organism.
When neither copy of an allele completely masks the expression of the other, this is known as incomplete dominance. In this scenario, the phenotype of the heterozygote is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes, resulting in a distinct intermediate trait. This phenomenon highlights the complexity of genetic interactions beyond simple dominant-recessive relationships. A classic example is the flower color in snapdragons, where red and white parents produce pink offspring.

It could be codominance or incomplete dominance.

Co-dominance
incomplete dominance
genes can be codominant for example in blood groups a person can be A,B,AB or O. neither A nor B is more or less dominant than each other but they are dominant over O. there are many other types of dominance/recessive relationships in genes. you could look up epistasis on wikipedia to get a better idea of the bigger picture.
This phenomenon is called epistasis. Epistasis occurs when the effect of one gene masks or modifies the effect(s) of one or more other genes, leading to the alteration of the expected phenotypic ratio.
