Question

Solve 3.
Q.3. Suppose a normal woman has never borne a child. How many mature eggs would she have produced in her lifetime? Your calculation should be based on two clues —
(a) Eggs are produced at the rate of 1 egg every 28 days (one menstrual cycle).
(b) A woman's total reproductive period is 13-45 years.

Answer 1

Dear student.

There will be the production of 13 eggs (approximately) every year. 365/ 28 days = 13.
Total time period is= 45-13 = 32 years.
Number of eggs a women will produce in her life time: 32 (years) x 365 days= 11680 days = 11680/28 days = 417 eggs (approx).

Regards.
