Answer 1

Genetic tendencies or characteristics come from your ancestry, but also are influenced by enviroment.  No one can predict the final result.  Uncles/ aunts are related., and will share your background. You do not descend from them, so it doesn't 'come' from them.

Answer 2

You can tell by the length of your foot, Dr's now measure  children when they are young and give you an estimate of their potential height.  You get your height from a mere roll of the dice, from anyone in your family tree and your diet and health now plays a huge part in that.

Answer 3

This is not really a genealogy question.  We research dead people here.  Maybe genetics is a better place to ask.

Answer 4

You throw the dice into the gene pool and stir them around and out comes you. If you have some tall people in the family,you may be tall also. You didn't say if you were a boy or girl. If you are a girl you may be around 5.10 and if you are a boy probably over 6 foot. Do not despair, if you are going to be tall, remember everyone will respect you more if you are proud of your height.

Answer 5

My height comes from my mother, she's hellshort, my grandfather's side were Cornish so yea.

Answer 6

omg.. lucky.. i wish iwas dat tall..!

Answer 7

well it would be ur parents because they are the ones that have the genes so you could get that from either side...it doesnt matter if one of you parents are shorter because the height could be a subdom. gene which means you have the genetic make up but you cant see it and sooner or later it will show up some where down the line

you cant really give a prediction because sometimes they are wrong but sometimes they are right genetics are weird and really funny sometimes....lol

my mom was 5'1'' in 11th grade and over summer break she went to 5'10'' and thats what happened to my great grandfather too..

hope this helped you
