Answer to Question 1

Females are born with a complement of immature ova and males with sperm-producing capabilities. For women, approximately 7 million immature ova, or primordial follicles, are formed during early fetal development, but only about one-half million per ovary remain by the onset of puberty. During a woman's fertile years, some 400500 ova will mature and be released for possible fertilization. Due to losses in viable ova over time, very few remain by menopause. For men, sperm numbers and viability decrease somewhat after approximately 35 years of age, but sperm are produced from puberty until death.
