Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Females develop all their eggs before they are born, and by the time of birth, a baby girl has around 1-2 million eggs. At puberty, only about 400,000 of these eggs remain, and only a few hundred will actually be released during a woman's reproductive years. Therefore, females have all the eggs they will ever have by the age of 4 months in utero.
