You know, the funny thing is that there's like some dormant gene that happens sometimes with these types of couples and their kids become tall, for whatever reason. So, you could wind up like 6'2" or something like that, but most likely you will wind up with a height similar to your father, so like 5'9" to 5'11"

The average height of men in the US is 5'9" and the average height of woman is 5'5" (National Center for Health Statistics). So your mom is the same as the average height and your dad is one inch taller than the average height. Therefore your parents are on average 1/2" taller than the average and it would make sense that you would be 5 foot 9 and 1/2 inches tall. However anyone who has studied genetics at all knows that this is rarely the case.

Today's kids tend to be taller than their parents. I am short and so is my husband. Our kids are all taller than we are. We both have siblings that are rather tall. It depends on several factors;
genetics, nutrition, etc. It also could go either way, you could be shorter or taller. You probably were not adopted.

Height isn't determined by one or two genes, there are a lot of factors, including nutrition and exercise. You could be any height.

You definately will be taller then both of them, see I am 5'3 and my ex-husband was about 5'8. My son now is 14 years old and he's 5'9.

I'm assuming you're male. I would say 5' 11" or even 6' feet.

It depends on who has the dominant genes for height.
