I have been reading most of the other answers to this sort of question but I am curious. I am a 16 year old male and I am 5ft 10in , my dad is 5ft 10in and my mum is 5ft 4/5in and my uncle is 6ft is there any possibility that I will reach 6ft?
I hope someone can offer me some advice or facts.

Hello Rob actually you can reach 6 ft height like your uncle because you can take the height gene from your mother's or father's family. There is many people who are very tall but there parents are very short. It's all about heredity

Can you please elaborate on how he can "take" a height gene? I understand what you mean, but others may not.

My dad is 5'10" tall my mom is 5'3" tall I am 6'4" tall.
So yes there is a real chance that you can reach 6"0" tall
My height came from my great uncles who where all over 6" 0" tall.
Some things skip generations.
