If a person was born in space would they be the size of an an adult at a young age?
Of like 12? Because at zero gravity their bones would be weaker and take a longer time to grow, so they would be shorter than normal humans wouldn't they? And have bigger heads.

Unfortunately no, this can be proven by the fact that many people have been bed-ridden, or prone, throughout their lives and did not grow any taller even though gravity was not pulling down on their joints and vertebrae. they would, however, be almost completely incapable of moving once they were exposed to a planets gravity because their muscles would have atrophied.

No, theres no such thing as zero gravity, gravity is just a space time geometry that is influenced by mass.
