To determine the size of a gene, scientists typically use techniques such as DNA sequencing or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to analyze the specific sequence of nucleotides that make up the gene. By comparing the sequence to known genetic information, researchers can estimate the size of the gene based on the number of nucleotides it contains.

What is a set of genes that determine a trait?

A piece of DNA which controls a trait is a gene variations of a gene are called alleles. If you mean "controls how much a particular trait is expressed" then you would be dealiung with the promoter region of a gene which is near the start and controls how strongly a gene is expressed.


A karyotype would be unable to determine what?

A karyotype would be unable to determine specific gene mutations or variations that may affect an individual's traits or health. It also cannot provide information about complex genetic conditions or environmental influences on gene expression.

Can a single recessive gene can determine the nature of a trait?

Yes, a single recessive gene can determine the nature of a trait if it is expressed and not masked by a dominant gene. In cases where the individual inherits two copies of the recessive gene, the trait will be expressed.


How is a gene?

The size of a gene can vary, there is no specific size. However, the average human gene consists of 3000 base pairs (or about 1/1000mm). That's about 1/100 of the width of a human hair.
