Study Notes
Female Reproduction
- Female reproduction is characterized by the production of eggs, also known as ova.
- The female reproductive cycle is primarily regulated by the hormone estrogen.
- Female organisms typically participate in reproduction through the process of fertilization, where an egg is united with a sperm.

- The start of female reproductive cycles is typically marked by menarche, the onset of menstruation.
