They intensify environmental effects. They reduce environmental effects. They keep environmental effects constant. They randomize environmental effects.

It is more stable than uracil. Other nucleotides cannot be radioactively labeled. It is cheaper and easier to work with than other nucleotides. It is found only in DNA, not RNA.
The molecule is not found in females. Males whose gonads had been removed did not court females. Males with larger testes court females more vigorously. Males whose gonads had been removed did not develop dewlaps.
hen it helps individuals produce more offspring than individuals without the trait. When it makes individuals more likely to survive, relative to individuals without the trait. When it is favored by natural selection. All of the above are true.
When alleles that favor altruism increase in frequency. More complex behaviors evolve from simpler behaviors. Why infanticide is adaptive. Why "selfish" alleles spread at the expense of alleles that function "for the good of the species."
