How does genetics play a role in when you start puberty and what your final height will be?

 

My mom (5'7) and my dad (6'3) were both VERY late bloomers.

 

I however, am 6'2 at 14 years old and I have no idea how I am...

Any ideas?

Nutrition and lifestyle tends to play a pretty major role as far as both height and development goes, sometimes as much or even more than genetics.

You are right... for example in North Korea, the South Korean kids live better lifestyles and are giants compared to them.

But nutrition isn't a big factor, my parents were raised eating foods fresh from farms, and I live in a town which has access to supermarkets.
