Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A karyotype is a term which refers to:

  • an individual's collection of chromosomes - parts of the cell that contain genes.
  • the procedure used to photograph an individual's chromosomes.

This technique is not used to track the occurrence of a trait in a family, but to look for abnormalities in the number or structure of chromosomes.
