Ovaries

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oogenesis occurs in the outermost layers of the ovaries. Oogenesis starts with a germ cell called oogonium and undergoes mitosis to increase in number.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oogenesis. Female sex cells, or gametes, develop in the ovaries by a form of meiosis called oogenesis. The sequence of events in oogenesis is similar to the sequence in spermatogenesis, but the timing and final result are different.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oogenesis occurs in the outermost layers of the ovaries. As with sperm production, oogenesis starts with a germ cell, called an oogonium (plural: oogonia), but this cell undergoes mitosis to increase in number, eventually resulting in up to one to two million cells in the embryo.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are three phases to oogenesis; namely, multiplication phase, growth phase and maturation phase.

Detailed explanation-5: -Oogenesis begins before birth but is not finished until after puberty. A mature egg forms only if a secondary oocyte is fertilized by a sperm. Oogenesis begins long before birth when an oogonium with the diploid number of chromosomes undergoes mitosis.
