What does the basal layer of the dermis produce?

Hairs
Sweat
Melanocytes
Nails

The correct answer is: Melanocytes

The basal layer of the dermis is responsible for producing melanocytes. Melanocytes are the cells that produce melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of our skin and hair. This pigment helps protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation from the sun by absorbing and scattering the UV rays. The other options are not produced by the basal layer of the dermis: hairs originate from hair follicles in the skin, sweat is produced by sweat glands, and nails are formed by specialized cells in the nail matrix.
