Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How often is an egg released?
A
weekly
B
daily
C
yearly
D
monthly
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A woman is born with all her eggs. Once she starts her periods, 1 egg develops and is released during each menstrual cycle. Pregnancy happens if a man’s sperm meet and fertilise the egg.

Detailed explanation-2: -How many eggs do women have in their 30s? There is no one right answer to this question, as certain factors – such as smoking or other personal factors – may mean a woman has fewer eggs than others. The average number of oocytes at the age of 30 would be around 72, 000 (12% of maximum pre-birth levels).

Detailed explanation-3: -During each menstrual cycle, a certain number of these follicles are activated to prepare for ovulation, but just one egg takes center stage to mature and be released from the ovary. The understudy follicles, on the other hand, are “reabsorbed” by the body (and effectively lost).
