A woman creates new immature ova in the ovary each time she has a menstrual cycle.

Explanation:

During the menstrual cycle, hormones present in the body make the immature eggs 'mature' ones, in the ovary. About in half of the cycle, hormones make the release of the mature egg from the ovary and travels towards uterus. It can remain there for 24 hours and if not fertilized the it breaks down and released out.

The false statement is: A woman creates new immature ova in the ovary each time she has a menstrual cycle

Explanation:

This is false because the ovules cannot leave the ovary in the immature form since the ova could not fuse with the sperm in the fallopian tubes, the ovum must always leave the ovary in its mature phase. In the menstrual cycle, the ovule also comes out in a mature way and tries to merge with sperm and implant itself in the endometrium, but if this fertilization is not achieved, the mature ovum will leave with the lining of the endometrium and the menstrual flow is created.
