Which layer of the epidermis contains melanocytes and is where new skin cells are produced by mitosis?

Giải thích

The stratum basale, the deepest epidermal layer, is where keratinocytes divide and where melanocytes produce the melanin that determines skin color and provides UV protection. The corneum is the dead outer layer, the lucidum is a clear layer found only on palms and soles, and the granulosum is a transitional layer where cells begin to die and fill with keratin.
