the allele is x linked. If v consider it to be autosomal then d oder allele has 2 be recessive to get d recessive trait. But nothing has been mentioned about oder allele. If it is x linked den obv the boy would inherit it from his mother and father would give Y which has nothing to do with this trait. So in such genotype boy would exhibit the trait.
