What do you think sex determination has to do with the topic of discussion?

Because the article states such.

The study also provides independent support for the theory of conflict between the male and female genetic material in producing offspring.

Starvation is the lack of food.

Common circumstance has not EVER been shown to cause identical mutations.

That is due to the fact that common descent is accepted as the cause. But acceptance cannot logically exclude common circumstance.

The quote provided has nothing to do with sex determination. It has to do with conflict between the baby (in a signal provided by the father) and the mother.

Yes. Starvation is the lack of food. What does this have to do with Scurvy.

No. Common circumstance has not been shown to cause identical mutations because many experiments with mutagenesis has repeatedly shown that mutations are random. A recent experiment in mutation and selection for heat tolerance showed that the mutations described reached saturation (i.e. every possible mutation was produced).
