Re: genes and reproduction; are there genetic diff each of the eggs that a woman prod

If a females eggs differ in genetic quality how are the eggs selected to be released?
For example in males the weak sperm die off before making it into the egg. Is there such a process in females? Are eggs released randomly or are they selected by something for the best possible quality?
I believe that some eggs are bad and that they get released randomly. If that is true are female eggs responsible for weak genetics more than a males sperm?
