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: -The process of producing eggs in the ovary is called oogenesis. Oogenesis begins before birth but is not finished until after puberty. If the secondary oocyte is fertilized by a sperm as it is passing through the fallopian tube, it completes meiosis and forms a mature egg and another polar body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oogenesis is the creation of an egg (also known as an ovum or oocyte) in the female foetus. Oogenesis starts in the foetus at around 7 weeks’ gestation, when primordial germ cells colonize the newly formed ovary. They are now referred to as oogonia.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your ovaries secrete estrogen and progesterone. These hormones play an important role in reproductive development and menstruation. Estrogen production is highest in the first half of your menstrual cycle before ovulation.
