Mature sperm cells are the male reproductive cells that have a tail for movement and contain genetic material for fertilization. Reproductive cells, on the other hand, encompass both sperm and egg cells, with egg cells being larger and containing more organelles to support embryonic development. Additionally, reproductive cells combine during fertilization to form a zygote, while mature sperm cells are specialized for fertilization.
Cells in oogenesis produce mature eggs or ova. Oogenesis is the process by which female germ cells or oogonia develop into mature eggs through several stages of cell division and maturation. In humans, oogenesis occurs in the ovaries and produces one mature egg during each menstrual cycle.
Adult human females are born with all the egg cells they will ever have, which typically number around 1 to 2 million at birth. By puberty, this number decreases to about 300,000 to 400,000. Throughout a woman's reproductive life, only about 400 to 500 of these egg cells will mature and be ovulated. By menopause, the majority of egg cells are no longer viable.
A female's fertilized egg spends the majority of time in the uterus. This is where the egg will mature and grow.
Hundreds of eggs begin to mature each month, usually only one egg will become dominant during each menstrual cycle, and reach its' fully mature state, capable of ovulation and fertilization.200-300 egg cells
when mature egg cells leave the ovary
Oviduct is where the egg cells are fertilized while the ovary is where the egg cells are produced and where they mature.
Because two egg cells are in the uterus at the same time and maturing. Identical twins are one egg cell that separated, that's why some babies are born connected. Fraternal children are when two egg cells enter the uterus and mature at the same time. That's why they don't look identical.

Germ cell
sperm needs to mature enough to reach the egg to form zygote
1 mature egg. The remaining 3 cells produced by meiosis are non-functional and are called polar bodies. They are much smaller than the egg, i.e. the egg took all or their cytoplasm during the divisions
Before we discuss where a mature egg is released to, perhaps you should state which species you are discussing, since lots of species have eggs, and they do not all get released in the same way.
a mature human egg is called an ova
