A Skin Cell in the Stratum Granulosum Has Experienced a Mutation

Multiple Choice

A skin cell in the stratum granulosum has experienced a mutation that altered its ability to produce keratin. Should this be a health concern for the individual?

A) No, because cells of the stratum granulosum are dying cells that do not reproduce, so the mutation will be isolated to the one cell.
B) Yes, because cells of the stratum granulosum divide by mitosis to produce keratin to protect the skin.
C) No, cells of the stratum granulosum only produce the waterproofing material in the skin.
D) Yes, without normal cell function in the stratum granulosum, the skin will lose color due to lack of melanin production.
