All follicles have the capacity to produce an egg. A baby girl is born with all the follicles she will ever have - about a million, and inside each one is a partially matured egg called an oocyte; each month from puberty onwards one (or occasionally more than one) follicle gets stimulated by hormones: the oocyte matures into an egg which is then released at ovulation. During a woman's reproductive life the pool of follicles decreases by apoptosis (programmed cell death), and when all of the follicles have been used up, either by follicular stimulation or by apoptosis, the woman enters menopause.

What is an organism that is produced by only one parent organism?
It is a clone. An example: Aphids are all female and produce offspring through a process called parthenogenesis, in which their eggs, produced by mitosis (not meiosis), develop without fertilization. All of the offspring of a particular aphid are clones of that aphid.

When a female is born her body contains?
When a female is born her body contains all the ovarian follicles she will ever make. A fraction of these immature follicles eventually turn into all the egg cells she will ever release. The other follicles either produce hormones or just die.
How many eggs(ovum)are in the ovaries?
Unlike men, who produce new sperm daily throughout most of their lifetime, women are born with all their eggs in their ovaries. To be more precise, a woman is born with about one to two million immature eggs, or follicles, in her ovaries. Throughout her life, the vast majority of follicles will die through a process known as atresia. Atresia begins at birth and continues throughout the course of the woman's reproductive life. When a woman reaches puberty and starts to menstruate, only about 400,000 follicles remain. With each menstrual cycle, a thousand follicles are lost and only one lucky little follicle will actually mature into an ovum (egg), which is released into the fallopian tube, kicking off ovulation. That means that of the one to two million follicles, only about 400 will ever mature. Relatively little or no follicles remain at menopause, which usually begins when a woman is between 48-55 years of age. The remaining follicles are unlikely to mature and become viable eggs because of the hormonal changes that come along with menopause.
