Smaug (The Chiefest andGreatest of Calamities, TheUnassessably Wealthy, TheStupendous, etc.), is the dragonwho lords over the LonelyMountain in J.R.R. Tolkien's TheHobbit. He is described with thefollowing phenotypes:Reddish-golden scalesBatlike wingsFire breathingLet's assume the following inheritance models are true for the dragon phenotypesobserved:PhenotypeScale ColorWing ShapeFire BreathingAllelesR¹ (Red scales), R² (Gold scales)X¹ (Bat-like, Dominant),Xi (Insect-like, Recessive)F (Fire breathing), f (unable to createfire)Inheritance ModelIncomplete dominanceX-linked alleleMendelian 4. Smaug's parents are not described by Tolkien, but we can use our current modelof genetics to predict their phenotypes. To make this question easier, assumethat all possible male offspring look identical to Smaug. In the space below,predict the genotype and phenotype of both parents. Please note, there aremultiple possible answers to this question, you only need to predict 1 possiblescenario. If a specific locus could contain either allele and still produce "Smaug-like" offspring, represent that locus with a dash (-). Show your work.

It is the year 1998, and the men and women sailors (inequal numbers) on the American ship the MedischolBounty have mutinied in the South Pacific and settledon the island of Bali Hai, where they have come intocontact with the local Polynesian population. Of the400 sailors that come ashore on the island, 324 haveMM blood type, 4 have the NN blood type, and 72 havethe MN blood type. Already on the island are 600Polynesians between the ages of 19 and 23. In thePolynesian population, the allele frequency of the Mallele is 0.06, and the allele frequency of the N allele is 0.94.
