You get an equal amount of genetic material from each side. And your parents will have a mix of genes themselves.
So look back a generation or two. If there's a mix, then it's hard to predict. If it's mostly one or the other or in between, then that's more likely.
Nutrition also plays a big part. Here in Scotland, the average height used to be tall. For the last couple of centuries, it's been relatively short. Now it's shooting up again -- and very quickly, such a difference between the generation that's coming into adulthood now and folks just a few years older. The genetic trait has always been there, just masked by poor diet.
