What is The process of releasing one mature ovum each month?

This happens to women who are genetically predisposed to having twins or are hyper-stimulated by hormones to bring about ovulation. In a "normal cycle" there are multiple follicles maturing simultaneously - usually only one fully matures by the time of ovulation. If there are 2 mature ovum the possibility of fraternal twins is high, if there are multiple mature ovum a pregnancy like Kate Gosselin (formerly of Jon and Kate Plus 8 - fame) where 7 ovum were fertilized at one insemination (one didn't develop past a few weeks) - most doctors would advise against attempting insemination due to high likely-hood of a higher order multiple pregnancy (HOM) or they would suggest selective reduction. This was the route Kate was advised to take, which she declined for religious and personal reasons.


How many gonosomes are in the mouse somatic ovum?

One gonosome, either X or Y, is present in the mouse somatic ovum.


What structure expels the mature ovum?

The Graffian Follicle in the ovary expels the secondary oocyte (mature ovum) into the peritoneum, where it is picked up by the fimbrae of the Fallopian tubes.


Does the released ovum flow out along with the menstrual flow?

yes it does it gets washed out with the tissue lining that is made to protect and feed the egg if it is fertalised.


Where does the ovum mature during your period?

The ovum matures in the follicle of the ovary during the menstrual cycle, not specifically during the period. During the menstrual cycle, the ovum matures within a follicle until it is released during ovulation.

What is the name of the gamete produced by the ovaries?

The gamete produced by the ovaries is called the ovum, or egg cell. Each ovum is released during the process of ovulation and can be fertilized by a sperm cell to form a zygote, which may develop into an embryo. In females, typically one ovum is released per menstrual cycle.

What is an ovum and where is it developed?

In humans an ovum is an egg produced by a female, also called a female "gamete". It is what is fertilized by sperm (the male gamete) to form a zygote from which offspring develop. In humans the ovum is developed in the female's reproductive system, specifically in the ovaries. Women have an ovary on each side of their uterus in the pelvic area. There are Fallopian tubes (through which the egg is released) connecting each ovary and the uterus. If the ovum is fertilized, it will implant itself in the womb, or if unfertilized, it will be released with the woman's next menstrual period.

How many autosomes are in each ovum?

Each ovum contains 22 autosomes, which are the non-sex chromosomes. This is because during oogenesis, the egg cell undergoes a process called meiosis to divide the chromosomes evenly into four daughter cells, resulting in one mature ovum with half the number of chromosomes.
