Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vince's comment is referring to Juan's physical appearance, which is determined by his phenotype, or the expression of his genetic traits. Factors such as height are determined by a combination of genetics and environmental factors, so Vince's comment is likely an observation of Juan's overall physical traits rather than a specific genetic factor like an allele or genotype. Gametes are reproductive cells, and are not relevant to the discussion of Juan's height.
