What is the probability that a male will inherit an X-linkedrecessive allele from his father?

There is no possibility that a male will inherit and X-linked recessive allele from his father because for a male child the father only contributes the Y chromosome to his son (of the XY pair he has). If the fater's X chromosome has a recessive allele then it is 100% certain that he will pas this on to all his daughters.

Why will a male inhert x liked recessive gene from is dad?

A male inherits his X chromosome from his mother and his Y chromosome from his father. Therefore, he cannot inherit an X-linked recessive gene directly from his dad, as fathers pass their Y chromosome to their sons. If a male has an X-linked recessive condition, it must come from his mother, who can pass on the affected X chromosome. In summary, males inherit X-linked traits only from their mothers.
