Detailed Solution

The trait is seen in the first generation and the third generation but not in the second generation. Only recessive traits skip generations but not dominant traits. Had the trait been X-linked recessive,  the males of the second generation would have been affected since their mother is affected. Y-linked traits are expressed only in males.
