Why Men are Usually Taller Than Women: Women and men are different from each other in physical makeup and this difference is given by nature. One such difference is in the stage of women and men. Men are usually higher than women. But what is the reason behind this? If this question comes to your mind, scientists have now found the answer. There is an average of 5 inches in the males of men and women. Scientists have now been answered the answer. The new research shows that it is due to organic, genetic and hormonal factors.
The team and UK teen analyzed the DNA data of about 10 lakh people together and found that a special gene male makes men taller than women. This study is published in the action of the National Academy of Sciences.
Genetics- Height mainly depends on genetic factors. The presence of the presence of X and y in men and y chromosomes affect the height. Men are in XYMOSOME combination, while there is XX in women. Y chromosomes control the Shox (Short Stature Homeoobox) Jean, bones growth and length. Men in men can contribute to the presence of y chromosome and increasing genes associated with it. Although SHOX Jean is present in both men and women, but the difference between the effects is. This is because the shox genes y chromosome is more active on chromosome, which enhances the height of men.
This study was also included among those whose body were additional x or y chromosomes. These are very few conditions. In such cases, it was observed that additional y chromosomes further extended the height of the people, while the extra X chromosome did not have the same effect. This made it clear that Yox has a greater effect on the height of the Jean in the y chromosome. Scientists say that this particular situation of shox genes is small in women, which does not get full advantage. This genet works more in men and that is about 25% more higher than men. The other difference is caused by sex hormones such as testosterone and other genetic factors.
In addition to this new study, there are some other reasons behind the difference between men and women. Such as hormonal differences. Testosterone and estrogen is also a major reason for the difference between height. Testosterone promotes bones and muscle growth during males. It helps to increase the length and density of the bones, which increases the average height of men. While Estrogen controls bone growth in women. In addition, things like women and men’s youngness, are also responsible for the difference in the head.
