Genotypic changes refer to changes in the genetic makeup of the individual, which cannot occur within one generation. Therefore, this cannot be a reason for the difference in size and height between US-born and non-US-born children of immigrants. The other options, access to safe drinking water, access to reliable food supply, developmental adjustment, and epigenetic adjustment, can all be factors that contribute to differences in size and height.
