An analysis of a karyotype can help to determine whether someone has a genetic disorder caused by a single gene.

true or false

False. Karyotype analysis is used to detect chromosomal abnormalities, such as extra or missing chromosomes, translocations, or deletions. It is not used to detect genetic disorders caused by single gene mutations. For single gene disorders, a different type of genetic testing, such as gene sequencing or DNA testing, is usually needed.
