Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A person's potential range of height is mostly determined by genetics, but actual height may be influenced by environmental factors such as nutrition. This means that while genetics play a significant role in determining a person's ultimate height potential, environmental factors can impact whether that potential is fully realized. However, it is not accurate to say that improved nutrition can increase the upper limit or range of height beyond a person's genetic potential, which is why option C is incorrect. Option D is also incorrect because while nutrition is important, it is not necessarily more important than genetic factors in determining height.
