Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During keratinization, the newly formed cells experience development when these cells are pushed from the base layers to the surface. As the cells relocate, the cells build up keratin. Other organelles, nucleus, cytoplasm, etc. vanish and the cell dies.
Detailed explanation-2: -Keratinocytes are the predominant cell type of epidermis and originate in the basal layer, produce keratin, and are responsible for the formation of the epidermal water barrier by making and secreting lipids.
