After all among Americans who call themselves White, over 30% of them are genetically mixed with some distant Black and or Amerindian ancestry. And than ofcourse there are millions of people in Latin America who call themselves White that are geneticaly mixed with some distant Black and or Amerindian ancestry.
And I even heard that a sizeable percentage of Australians who call themselves White, have some distant Aboriginal ancestry.

This is just something that I have been wondering about for a while.
Say, for example, the father has identical twin brothers. Would this increase the chance of conceiving twins? Or is it more or less based on the mother’s genes? I tried looking this up elsewhere on the interwebs, but couldn’t find a specific enough answer. Thought maybe Y!A could help me out tonight 
For the record, I’m not pregnant, nor do I plan on getting pregnant any time soon, I’m just curious.
Thanks in advance!

I remember reading it somewhere that your height is based on 80% nutrition and 20% genetics. Or it might have been 90% nutrition and 10% genetics, I can’t remember.
But I just want to know if its true.
If it is, then what can I eat and drink that will give me the nutritions to grow tall?
Thank you.
