Oh, the concept of the punnett square and dominant/recessive genes are sound. It's just not very applicable in this particular case.

Ah.

Well now I feel silly.

Yeah, as Indi said, the phenotype is most likely affected by several genes.

Because you're Asian.

And the enviornment. Genotype only gives you the backbone, the environment does the rest.

Oh that was my fault, I accidentally spilled Chemical X into your test tube. On the plus side you should have superpowers.

Now I know.

It's also caused by other stuff right?

Like nutrition, exercise, etc?

Yep. That's the environment. You can have the best genotype in the world, but it won't help you if you're starving to death or sick with AIDS or something like that.

Now why would I want to do that? Monkeys are scary.

Because annoying DNA.
Heh. Also, phenotype is affected by environmental factors such as the food you ate or how much sleep you got.

I ate a lot, and still do, and don't get much sleep, and still don't.
I was supposed to be 5'9" max, but I think I may have excess hormones, considering I'm over half a foot taller than that and have extremely fast growth of facial hair, and also my increased level of aggression.

That explains why my parents made me shoes out of plant pots and high-nutrient compost.

I'm still fairly young, and have a way to go.

Thought so.

Well I am going to have a glass of milk because being 5"11 isn't enough for me.

How tall are you, NSG?

How tall are you (cm)?
