Most height genes come from the mother.

[CorinthianLOX]

Most of my friends who are around 6ft and taller have tall mothers (around 5'8-5'11 on average). Some of their mothers are even taller than their mother.

grandpa on mothers side is 6'4 but grandma sold the bag so gg

 

[IHATEINDIANS]

Also my experience. Know a 6'6 dude with both his parents being 5'10 and a 5'6-7 dude with a 6'1 father and 5'3 mother

I know a 6ft guy whos father is like 5'8 and his mother is 5'10 or something

Same my grandma is pretty short. i guess it correlates.

 

[psychomandible]

Mums 5'7 and I'm 181cm and still growing innit. One of my great great grandma's was genuinely 6'4 though

 

[Fvte]

That’s the comical aspect of it. Women despise short men despite being the most responsible for their existence

 

[imontheloose]

Zero evidence for this.

mogs me

 

[CorinthianLOX]

Zero evidence for this.

It's just an observation and a theory but i've seen a correlation.

 

[psychomandible]

whats ur age?

17 but I'm late asf bloomer ( I was still like 5'4 at 15)

 

[psychomandible]

mogs me

What's your height ?

 

[ajshabs]

my mom is 5ft 7 yet has relatives that are 6ft 4/5 my father is also 5ft 7 yet no one in his family is above like 5ft 10

yet i am 6ft 1 at 16

as the curry’s would say mashallah

 

[PainfulProportions]

17 but I'm late asf bloomer ( I was still like 5'4 at 15)

dont worry bro ur almost 6' anyways. u pretty much are

 

[CorinthianLOX]

What's your height ?

5'8. My dads like 5'10 but claims 5'11. I'm 19. my mom's 5'3

 

[imontheloose]

It's just an observation and a theory but i've seen a correlation.

Patterns do form anecdotally. But researchers have studied thousands of families and found both contribute pretty equally. If there is a bias, it is negligible and should be dismissed.

Are your plates closed ?

Are your plates closed ?

idk

idk

My condolences bro

My condolences bro

i grew from 5'7 to 5'8 in 7 months or something

Most genes in general come from the mother:

Genetics and Epigenetics of the X and Y Chromosomes in the Sexual Differentiation of the Brain - PMC

For many decades to date, neuroendocrinologists have delved into the key contribution of gonadal hormones to the generation of sex differences in the developing brain and the expression of sex-specific physiological and behavioral phenotypes in ...

And race of the mother matters most for genes, more than how much they fit according to society's beauty standards

My great grandpa on my moms side is 6’5, my grandma is 5’10 and my mom is 5’11

That is a myth

How do you do compare to others in school when it comes to height? Are you among the shortest men there? (Btw I mean compared to native Europeans in ur school, not counting immigrants if you have any in school)

There are almost no immigrants in my school. There are actually somewhat decent amount of men that are my height. Also my school is extremely high class and wealthy so that explains alot. Also what's weird is that the younger generations are shorter like 5'7-5'9 which is odd considering that a lot of my generation even in my first year was already 180cm or something. I was 5'6 back then in my first year jfl.

You have got this totally wrong. Nuclear DNA is not the same as mitochondrial DNA. Nuclear DNA includes all the traits like height, eye colour, and disease risk. In terms of nuclear DNA, your claim is biologically false, and most traits in fact come from it.

This article is regarding mitochondrial DNA, it's only inherited by the mother. But, mtDNA only includes 37 genes compared to 20,000-25,000 in nuclear DNA. It does not determine traits like height, that's completely false.

I'm 6'0" and I'm a manlet in Dalamatia lol.

Aren't the balkans the tallest people in europe no?

 

[mentally_ill_chad]

Yep, especially from Dalmatia and Herzegovina I'll have to move north

 

[KaisenMaxxer]

Most of my friends who are around 6ft and taller have tall mothers (around 5'8-5'11 on average). Some of their mothers are even taller than their mother.

6', 5'5 mom, 5'9 dad btw

Did you inject hgh or use steroids during growing up?

Yes saaaar, mitochondrial dna = genes that are responsible for cell energy production, atp = energy of the cell

Like in muscle cells, atp is used for muscle contraction

Im 5’10, my mum is 5’3 and dad is 5’10

how old are you?

non, even was "underfed" I weighted 125 pounds when I hit 5'11 at 16 or 17
I really just got lucky I just sat on my ass my whole childhoot and teens

 

[CorinthianLOX]

Yep, especially from Dalmatia and Herzegovina I'll have to move north

Maybe for the better anyway. I get the impression that most balkan countries are literal niggerhutts

 

[KaisenMaxxer]

I need to add that my mother's father is 5'11 and my father brother is 6'1

 

[CorinthianLOX]

non, even was "underfed" I weighted 125 pounds when I hit 5'11 at 16 or 17

My family members including my dad like to cope at me by saying 'I grew until 20 or 21'

 

[imontheloose]

Yes, sir. The mitochondrial DNA: 37 genes, all about making ATP, will code for oxidative phosphorylation, critical for cellular energy. But no, apparently height is powered by ATP.

Spoiler

It's not.

We might want to look back at polygenic inheritance across nuclear chromosomes rather than blaming mitochondria for having short kids...

 

[KaisenMaxxer]

My family members including my dad like to cope at me by saying 'I grew until 20 or 21'

I hit 6ft at 19 and half

 

[CorinthianLOX]

I hit 5'8 at 19. Oh well maybe i might aswell cope about growing into my early 20s.

@Panzram how do we react to this slander?

 

[KaisenMaxxer]

dw saar get AI inhibitors to keep growing till 25
face > height anyway too, My friend that has the best looking gf (he is ltn she is hmtb, russian blue eyes blonde) is 5'6 and she's 5'7

 

[imontheloose]

I hit 5'8 at 19

X-ray. Now. HGH. Now. Aromatase inhibiter. Now.

 

[Panzram]

Saaar, @mentally_ill_chad and I demand clarification on the "niggerhutt" comment? Tf is a niggerhutt and how are balknan countries niggerhutts?
