Answer:

meiosis

Step-by-step explanation:

The germ cells that enter meiosis become oocytes, the source of future eggs. Consequently, females are born with a finite number of oocytes arrested in the first meiotic prophase. Within the ovary, these oocytes grow within follicle structures containing large numbers of support cells. (i don't know if the explanation is correct but i know that it is meiosis)
