Does this mean that I have a shot at 6 ft 2 in height?!
Question: Does this mean that I have a shot at 6 ft 2 in height.?
So basically the average height for a 15 year old white male is 5' 7". And I am 5' 9".... so I am 2 inches taller than the average.
My dad is 5 ft 11- which means he is just an inch taller than the average american white male
However my mom is 5 ft 3-- she has tall genes....most of my cousins on her side are ranging from 5 11- 6 2
I am a late bloomer
I have pubes.... but that's it.. no facial hair, no pimples, almost no body hair..... maybe 3-5 armpit hair on each side
no change in body shape or whatsoever
I wear a size 11 shoes.....
So do I have a chance.?Health Question & Answer

ok let's break it down here (:
since before you are born your genetics decide how tall you're going to be, and you can do everything in the world but nothing is going to change that. there is surgery that can make you taller by a few inches but it's extremely painful, and costs a lot :$ the only thing i can suggest is drinking a lot of milk, and maybe, just maybe you'll grow a few cm taller 0_0
next, since your dad contains the tall gene, let's just assume he is heterozygous tall, and your mom is short so she is homozygous recessive.... so it'd be like
T.t.
t.Tt. tt.
t.Tt.tt
assuming that was a punnent square, you would've had a 50% shot at being short D: obviously you got lucky and got the tall genes :p
and the rest doesn't really matter because it's about recessive genes showing up every 3-4 generations, and blah :p
so i'd say you definitely have a shot at getting up to 6' 2" or very close to it (:Health Question & Answer

i doubt it. I'm about six foot. Taller than my 5'10" dad and 5'7" mom.
I have way more body hair than you, but in Greek so...
And i wear a size 13 Adidas and size 12 or 12.5 Nikes
And I'm 15 sophomore in high school.
I don't think i'll be 6'2" but there's always a chance. My grandpa was 6'4"/Health Question & Answer

Sure, don't see why not, you can make 6' 2" . I don't understand where you write " maybe 3 - 5 armpit hair on each side". Do you mean 3 to 5 individual hairs .? If so let me give you some advice, my friend. Don't count your armpit hairs. It's really not very cool ~ lol ~. Good Luck !Health Question & Answer
