Solution
The process of release of the ovum from a mature follicle is called ovulation.
Explanation:
The secondary oocyte forms a new membrane called the zona pellucida surrounding it. The Graafian follicle now ruptures to release the secondary oocyte (ovum) from the ovary, a process called ovulation.
