A member asked:
My cousin(female) is 6ft, her father 6'5 and mother 5'1. her predicted height was about 5'7. how come she grew more than that?

Predicted height: is an estimate. Apparently this person inherited more of the tall genes.

Growth: Predicted height is an estimate. With a father that tall; it would not be unusual to have a daughter 6'. She just inherited the height, not the shortness from her mother.
