Answer:
X linked inheritance is one of the mechanisms of the inheritance which is associated with the mutation of the gene present on the X chromosome.
The characteristics of the X linked recessive inheritance that must be observed in the pedigree analysis will be-
1. X linked trait is always passed from the mother to the sons (females to males)
2. The males (XY) are usually affected by the gene as only one copy of the recessive gene in males can show its effect.
3. Females are the carrier of the disease but they are not affected by the condition.
Ryan was born genetically male but has external genitals that are completely female. He would be referred to as female pseudohermaphrodite. It’s a term used when a male is born with an ovary or there are external genitals which looks like an intermediate of a female reproductive organ. The opposite of which is a male pseudohermaphrodite. Pseudohermaphroditism in general is usually linked to Androgen insensitivity syndrome or 5-alpha-reductase deficiency.

Explanation:
Gregor Mendel discovered the principles that governs heredity. In one of his experiments, he discovered that an organism receives two forms of a gene called ALLELE from each parent. He realized that one allele is capable of masking the expression of its variant pair in a gene. He called the allele that masks or is expressed, DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked, RECESSIVE allele. He termed this principle the LAW OF DOMINANCE.
The above explained law of dominance is what applies in the question here. When the homozygous round allele and wrinkled allele were crossed, the allele for round seeds are dominant over the allele for wrinkled seeds (recessive) i.e. in a heterozygous state (combination of the different alleles), the round allele will mask the phenotypic expression of the wrinkled allele, expressing itself over it.
