Question

Is height inherited?


Open in App
Solution

Inheritance of height:

  1. The majority of people's height is influenced by both heredity and environmental factors (such as the availability of nutrition).
  2. The DNA sequence differences that a person inherits are thought to account for roughly 80% of their height, although it is still unclear which genes these variants are found in or how they affect height.
  3. The interaction through which hereditary data is passed down from parent to a kid is alluded to as legacy.
  4. This makes sense of why individuals from similar families have comparative qualities.
