From menarche (≈13 yrs) to menopause (≈45 yrs), in approximately how many cycles does a female ovulate and thus how many eggs are released?

  1. ~120 eggs
  2. ~416 eggs
  3. ~1000 eggs
  4. ~2 million eggs
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. ~416 eggs

Reproductive age ≈ 32 years × 13 cycles/year ≈ **416 eggs released** over the lifespan. (Foetal ovary has ~2 million primordial follicles; only ~40,000 remain at puberty; the rest undergo atresia.)
