Answer:

Explanation: Melanocytes are melanin-producing cells derived from immature melanocytes or the so-called melanoblasts, which migrate from the neural crest during embryogenesis. Follicular melanocytes show cyclical activation, and “melanogenesis” (to produce melanin) is coupled with anagen in so-called anagen-coupled melanogenesis.

Melanocyte, specialized skin cell that produces the protective skin-darkening pigment melanin. Birds and mammals possess these pigment cells, which are found mainly in the epidermis, though they occur elsewhere

e.g., in the matrix of the hair.
