Answer
False.<br /><br />Males only have one X chromosome. If they inherit the recessive allele on that X chromosome, they will express the trait. They cannot be carriers, which implies having the allele but not expressing the phenotype. Carriers, for X-linked recessive traits, are always female.<br />
