3. Given the information above, and assuming dragons are diploid organisms with one pair of non-homologous, sex-determining chromosomes (Smaug is referred to as male multiple times in The Hobbit, so we will assume Smaug is hemizygous for X-linked traits), What is Smaug's genotype for the three traits (Scale color, Wing type, Fire breath)? For this assignment, you may assume Smaug is homozygous for fire breath. A: R¹R¹ X¹Y FF B: R¹R² X¹X¹ Ff C: R²R¹ XİY Ff D: R¹R² X¹Y FF E: R¹R¹ X¹X¹ ff

Question
Smaug (The Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities, The Unassessably Wealthy, The Stupendous, etc.), is the dragon who lords over the Lonely Mountain in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. He is described with the following phenotypes: Reddish-golden scales Batlike wings Fire breathing Let's assume the following inheritance models are true for the dragon phenotypes observed: Phenotype Scale Color Wing Shape Fire Breathing Alleles R¹ (Red scales), R² (Gold scales) X¹ (Bat-like, Dominant), Xi (Insect-like, Recessive) F (Fire breathing), f (unable to create fire) Inheritance Model Incomplete dominance X-linked allele Mendelian
