Smaug (The Chiefest andGreatest of Calamities, TheUnassessably Wealthy, TheStupendous, etc.), is the dragonwho lords over the LonelyMountain in J.R.R. Tolkien's TheHobbit.

Given the information above, and assuming dragons are diploid organisms withone pair of non-homologous, sex-determining chromosomes (Smaug is referredto as male multiple times in The Hobbit, so we will assume Smaug is hemizygousfor X-linked traits), What is Smaug's genotype for the three traits (Scale color,Wing type, Fire breath)?
