Insulin helps control blood glucose levels by signaling the liver and muscle and fat cells to take in glucose from the blood. Insulin therefore helps cells to take in glucose to be used for energy. If the body has sufficient energy, insulin signals the liver to take up glucose and store it as glycogen.
Arteries carry blood (with oxygen) from our heart out to your body, while veins carry blood (without oxygen) from your body to your heart. Arteries are strong, flexible blood vessels that are able to expand (get bigger) and contract (get smaller). They expand as your heart beats, and contract between heart beats. Veins are less flexible than arteries. They have valves (doors) that open and close to let blood through.

Answer:
A goat that faints with a genotype (gg)
Explanation:
Ideally, test crosses are used in genetics to determine the genotype of an unknown organism (usually a dominant phenotype). In a case of goats with a fainting gene (G), the dominant allele is G while the recessive allele is g. G codes for no fainting while g codes for fainting in goats.
The farmer wants to ascertain whether Gary, a goat he bought, is indeed a carrier of the fainting trait or simply a heterozygous (Gg). He performs a test cross by crossing Gary (Gg) with a goat that is homozygous (gg) for the recessive phenotype (fainting). In this cross, if Gary were truly a carrier/heterozygous, half (1/2) of the offsprings produced will be phenotypically fainting goats with genotype (gg). If not, all offsprings will not express the fainting trait.
