Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kara has the highest likelihood of being the tallest as she has tall parents, both of whom likely carry genes for height. While having tall grandparents (option D) may also suggest a higher likelihood of being tall, it is not as strong an indicator as having tall parents. Option A and B have one short parent, which decreases the likelihood of being tall.
