Hypospadias, a birth defect in male humans in which the urethra opens on the shaft instead of at the tip of the penis, results from an autosomal dominant gene in some families. Females who carry the gene show no effects. Is this birth defect an example of (a) an X-linked trait, (b) a Y-linked trait, (c) a sex-limited trait, (d) a sex-influenced trait, or (e) genetic maternal effect? Explain your answer.
