Great Whites are ovoviviparous, the eggs develop in the females.........hatching there and continuing to develop until they are born, at which point they are perfectly capable predators
Its simple the reproduce just like Humans.
Scientists dont know yet, but it takes 12-13 years for them to reach maturity.

Great White Sharks give birth to live young, as most sharks do. The male shark has a pair of pelvic fins modified to form a funnel. He inserts this into the female's anus and injects sperm. Sharks do not have separate reproductive tracts and eggs and sperm empty directly into the bowel. The sperm travels up the bowel until it reaches the female's oviduct. It fertilizes the shark's eggs which then grow into baby sharks and are eventually expelled from the female's body. Sharks have a pair of oviducts. Female sand tiger sharks produce many eggs but only deliver two young (called shark "pups"). This is because the first baby sharks to develop teeth cannibalize their siblings while still inside the mother's body. Only 1 shark survives in each oviduct.
