Suppose that an allele is present in blue-footed booby offspring that causes a nestling to share its food with its nest-mate if it is not particularly hungry during times of adequate food availability. This gene imposes a fitness cost of 0.3 on those who carry it, while conferring a benefit of 0.4 on the sibling who receives the additional food. This gene will increase in frequency if the two nest-mates are always half siblings (with the same mother but different fathers). O True
