True or False:A female will have an entire lifetime supply of eggs in her ovaries before puberty begins.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Females are not capable of making new eggs, and in fact, there is a continuous decline in the total number of eggs each month. By the time a girl enters puberty, only about 25% of her lifetime total egg pool remains, around 300, 000.

Detailed explanation-2: -As a prepubescent female, approximately 10, 000 eggs will degenerate and “die” each month. That means by the time a woman reaches puberty, they only have 300, 000-400, 000 eggs left in their ovaries .

Detailed explanation-3: -You’re born with all the eggs you’ll ever produce. During fetal development, you have about 6 million eggs. At birth, there are approximately 1 million eggs left. By the time you reach puberty, only about 300, 000 remain.

Detailed explanation-4: -You ovulate one egg per month, usually. This is the single egg that makes it through the whole ovulatory process: the egg follicle is activated, the egg grows and matures, and then-once it reaches maturation-it breaks free from the ovary and begins on its journey down the Fallopian tubes.
