How tall?
Your height depends largely on your genes, but also on many other factors, such as whether you have a healthy diet. Tall parents usually have tall children and short parents tend to have short children – usually but not always. Several different genes, as well as other non-genetic factors, influence height: it is an example of complex inheritance.
