Solution

The correct option is B False
  1. Women usually have two ovaries, one on each side.
  2. The midway point of a menstrual cycle is when the ovaries release an egg (oocyte).
  3. Both ovaries grow follicles that may become mature eggs.
  4. However, one egg becomes the dominant egg and the other follicles in both ovaries take a load off, eventually degenerating.
  5. There is only one egg produced each month by one ovary.
  6. But the ovary that produces it is not merely random or left-right-left-right.
  7. Studies have demonstrated that this is likely due to anatomical differences between the right and left sides of the repulse.

The given statement is false.
