Answer:

What best describes why a son grows and reaches a similar height to the father is that genetic instructions for height were passed from the father to the son.

Explanation:

Height is a trait that is linked to genetic inheritance from parents to offspring, given the similarity in height between fathers and sons. It is a fact that, based on a parent's height, one can have an idea of what height a child will have when he is developing.

Approximately 85 to 90% of children can have their father's height, although the genetic basis for inheriting height is not clear.

Other factors that may influence a person's final height are habits, environment and diet, but not decisive.

Other options are not completely true because:

  • <em>Whether a father and son live in the same place and are exposed to the same environmental factors is not a determinant of height. </em>
  • <em>Genetic inheritance prevails over the fact that father and son eat the same foods  and have the same height because of it.</em>
  • <em>There is a direct relationship between the height of the father and the son.</em>
