Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The production of melanin takes place in specific ovoid organelles known as melanosomes which are produced in dendritic melanocytes that account for only 1% of epidermal cells. Each basal layer melanocyte is associated with about 36 keratinocytes and one Langerhans cell (epidermal melanin unit) (57).
Detailed explanation-2: -Melanin is produced by specialized cells called melanocytes. Melanocytes are scattered among other cells in the deepest layer of the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) called the basal layer. After melanin is produced, it spreads into other nearby skin cells.
