How many eggs are released by a human ovary in a month?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Human ovaries produce generally one (rarely two) egg in a month.
As identical twins are monozygotic and are produced from two parts of the same zygote, so only one egg was released from the ovary. Yes, as the fraternal twins are dizygotic, it is possible only if two eggs are released from the ovaries in the same month.
