What are general Phenotypic characteristic features of a knockout mice other than the specific gene knockout or how can we conclude a mice is knockout mice without any molecular biology techniques?
In simple words, you can not conclude without molecular data. You may sometimes see a visible phenotype such as change in color of eyes, skin or growth or any such things for some genotype. but this doesn't validate that the gene knock out actually happened in both allele.
How are gene knockout organisms used in determining the function of genes?
Gene knockout organisms are animals, usually mice and rats, who have been genetically engineered so that one of their genes is removed or knocked out. The ways in which their behaviour or appearance deviates from normal shows what the function of that gene is. For example, if the animals cannot stop eating and eat themselves to death, then it is clear that the genes are essential to the animal's ability to feel full and so stop eating. Knockout mice can also be used to test the effect of drugs and medication: if the drug has an effect on normal mice but not on the knockout mice then clearly the drug works through the mechanism which is controlled by the missing gene.
