Stars born in a galaxy?

You will need to expand on that question. If you mean how many stars are born in a galaxy then it would be inaccurate for me to give an answer because a galaxy is a vast, heavy grouping of stars, supported by gravity. There is no minimum or maximum amount of stars allowed and so a galaxy could vary quite vastly in the number of stars it contains.
