The correct matches are:

1. X-linked: Inactivation of one of the sex chromosomes in somatic cells of female mammals. This is incorrect. X-linked inheritance refers to the pattern where the gene causing the trait or the disorder is located on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, so a mutation in a gene on one of the X chromosomes may not necessarily cause the disease. Males, on the other hand, have only one X chromosome, so a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome will cause the disease.

2. Simple Mendelian: Pattern determined by a pair of alleles displaying a dominant/recessive relationship located on autosome. This is correct. In simple Mendelian inheritance, traits are controlled by a single gene on an autosome, and one allele is dominant over the other.

3. Epistasis: The alleles of one gene mask the effect of the alleles of another gene. This is correct. Epistasis is a phenomenon that consists of the effect of one gene being dependent on the presence of one or more 'modifier genes', i.e., the genetic background.

4. Incomplete dominance: The silencing of an allele from one parent, and the expression of the same allele from the other parent. This is incorrect. Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the phenotypes of both alleles. The description given here refers to a different concept called "imprinting".
