Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ovulation. When a young person reaches puberty, they begin to ovulate-a process in which a mature egg cell (also called an ovum) that is ready for fertilization by a sperm cell is released from one of the ovaries (two reproductive organs located in the pelvis).
Detailed explanation-2: -At ovulation, the arrested secondary oocyte is released from the ovary and undergoes a rapid maturation step that transforms it into an egg that is prepared for fertilization. If fertilization occurs, the egg is stimulated to complete meiosis.
