If you are 5'3 and you are 11 will you be very tall when you get older?

A lot of depends on your parents and other people in your family. If, for instance, both your parents are tall and their parents are tall, then there's a good chance you'll be tall, too. However, if both your parents mothers are short, but the dads are tall, and your parents are tall, then you could be short, or tall. If both your parents are short, then you will be short because shortness is a recessive gene. Recessive genes only show up when there are two genes, so you couldn't have a tall gene. However, you could be short all through high school and suddenly shoot up in college. The body works in mysterious ways.

What are the phenotypes possible for a hybrid tall parents?

When considering hybrid tall parents, the phenotypes of their offspring can vary depending on the genetic makeup of the parents. If both parents are homozygous tall (TT), all offspring will be tall (TT). If one parent is homozygous tall (TT) and the other is heterozygous tall (Tt), all offspring will also be tall (TT or Tt). However, if both parents are heterozygous (Tt), the offspring can exhibit three possible phenotypes: tall (TT or Tt) and short (tt), following a typical Mendelian ratio of 3 tall to 1 short.
