I'm not very knowledged in genetics, although I'm interested in the subject, and was hoping someone could give me some insight into any possible reasons for why I'm short.
I'm a caucasian male and I'm only around 5'7". I know I take after my father who is also around my height, but I don't understand who he took after. My grandfather (on his side) was around 6'1" - 6'2", on a side note my grandfather on my mothers side is also around 6'1", could my father have taken after his mother? But if so then his mother was, like most women, shorter than 5'7".
I'm just curious and thought since I'm passing through i'd ask :tongue2:
