How do melanocytes in the skin contribute to the process of pigmentation?
Melanocytes are cells in the skin that produce melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. When exposed to sunlight, melanocytes produce more melanin to protect the skin from UV damage. This process results in tanning or darkening of the skin.

With no nuclei can skin cells produce other skin cells?
No, skin cells cannot produce other skin cells without nuclei. The nucleus contains the genetic material necessary for cell division and the regulation of cellular functions. While certain specialized skin cells, like keratinocytes, can undergo mitosis to produce new cells, they require nuclei to carry out this process. In the absence of nuclei, skin cells would be unable to replicate or perform essential functions.
