Final answer:

The answer explains ovulation, menstrual cycle initiation, and hormone regulation during the menstrual cycle.


Explanation:

Ovulation: Around Day 14 in a 28-day cycle, the mature follicle bursts, releasing an egg from the ovary.

Menstrual Cycle Initiation: If the egg is not fertilized, hormone levels drop around Day 25, signaling the start of the next menstrual cycle.

Hormone Regulation: Estrogen and LH spike, causing ovulation, where the mature follicle ruptures and releases the egg.
