It is possible for a professional basketball player to be more than 2 feet taller than an Olympic gymnast. This difference in height can be explained by the fact that the basketball player may probably have larger vertebrae than the Olympic gymnast upon comparing their vertebrae.

The correct answer is:

The basketball player's vertebrae may be bigger than the gymnast's.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several factors that influence height; for one, the length of the legs affects one's height.

Additionally, however, if someone has bigger vertebrae, then they would be taller than another person.
