There's much more than just heredity to consider before assuming a person will automatically be the same height as their parents. Medical conditions, hormonal deficiencies, and more can all contribute to how tall you are.

Health experts believe that 80% of a person's height is genetic. This means the height of biological parents can be an indicator of a child's height, although this is not always a reliable predictor.

In terms of genetics, height is believed to be influenced by multiple genes, with each gene having a small effect on an individual's height. Some of these genes may be passed down from parents to their children, but it is also possible for new genetic mutations to occur during the formation of egg and sperm cells.
