Can the trait shown in the pedigree be X linked recessive?

Is this homework?

What is your first thought? Maybe you can show us what you did so far to solve this?

Did you read what the moderators pinned in this thread?

In all fairness, this was posted somewhere else, and I moved it to Homework.

First thought is no because both males and females are shown to have the trait.

How do you conclude that since both have X chromosome.

And there are females who have the trait and there are who haven't. How do you suggest this.

X Linked recessive manner of inheritance usually exhibits itself as a diognal line of trait in the pedigree .

The affected females with this mode of transmission occurs when the female lack one X chromosome like in Turner , Lyionisation phenomenon or both parents are carriers
