The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of calculating the number of secondary oocytes and ova for a 36-year-old female who started menstruating at age 12 and has had 2 children, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Determine the Duration of Menstrual Cycles**: - The female started menstruating at age 12 and is currently 36 years old. - Duration of menstruation = 36 years - 12 years = 24 years. 2. **Calculate the Total Number of Menstrual Cycles**: - The menstrual cycle occurs approximately every 28 days, which translates to about 12 cycles per year. - Total cycles over 24 years = 24 years × 12 cycles/year = 288 cycles. 3. **Account for Pregnancies**: - The female has had 2 children. Each pregnancy typically lasts about 9 months. - Total months of pregnancy = 2 children × 9 months/child = 18 months. 4. **Account for Lactation Period**: - After each pregnancy, there is usually a lactation period. Assuming 6 months of lactation for each child: - Total lactation period = 2 children × 6 months/child = 12 months. 5. **Calculate Total Non-Cycle Months**: - Total months during which no secondary oocytes are released = 18 months (pregnancy) + 12 months (lactation) = 30 months. 6. **Calculate the Effective Menstrual Cycles**: - Total months in 24 years = 24 years × 12 months/year = 288 months. - Effective months of menstruation = 288 months - 30 months (non-cycle months) = 258 months. 7. **Determine the Number of Secondary Oocytes**: - Since one secondary oocyte is released during each menstrual cycle, the number of secondary oocytes released = 258 secondary oocytes. 8. **Determine the Number of Ova**: - Each time a secondary oocyte is fertilized, it becomes an ovum. Since the female has had 2 children, the number of ova produced = 2. ### Final Answer: - **Number of Secondary Oocytes**: 258 - **Number of Ova**: 2 ---
