Let R = ⊕α∊гRα be an integral domain graded by an arbitrary torsionless grading monoid Γ. In this paper we consider to what extent conditions on the homogeneous elements or ideals of R carry over to all elements or ideals of R. For example, in Section 3 we show that if each pair of nonzero homogeneous elements of R has a GCD, then R is a GCD-domain. This paper originated with the question of when a graded UFD (every homogeneous element is a product of principal primes) is a UFD. If R is Z+ or Z-graded, it is known that a graded UFD is actually a UFD, while in general this is not the case. In Section 3 we consider graded GCD-domains, in Section 4 graded UFD's, in Section 5 graded Krull domains, and in Section 6 graded π-domains.
