Choose whether the given statement is true or false:

The egg is released during the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle.

The given statement is false.

When the hormone LH (luteinizing hormone) reaches its peak during a menstrual cycle, an egg is released. The 14th day of the menstrual cycle is when the level of LH reaches its peak thus initiating the rupture of a mature ovarian follicle and the release of an egg.

Thus, the correct statement is "The egg is released during the ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle."
