sorry for the long wording

Answer 1

Nature wins over nurture in this scenario.
The child's height would not be limited
by actions during development of one
(or either ) of the parents. To answer
your question,the child would
get the "original family gene."

Answer 2

I don't think there is a way to stunt one's growth during their early years......I really don't. You can't judge the gene pool. It doesn't know what gene is going where or even if it will go. Look at dwarf parents that have a normal size child or visa versa. It happens all the time.

There is something a very wise doctor told me once. Take your child's height at two years old and double it. That will be the child's adult height.

Answer 3

The inheritted Gene orderring wil prevail regardless of all.

Answer 4

depends if the stunted growth is genetic or due to illness. If due to illness it should not affect the genetic make up.

Answer 5

unless the gene or genes were directly damaged, it should make little difference in the offspring

Answer 6

no , not at all because you may ...

Answer 7

I don't think so.
