Solution

Answer:
  • The release of an ovum (or egg) from an ovary is called ovulation.
  • Ovulation takes place in around every 28 days if the ovum is not fertilised by the sperm.
  • Ovulation is skipped during the pregnancy which is caused by the fertilisation of the ovum by the sperm and starts once the baby is born.
