Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nail follicle has its base in the dermis, which provides it with blood vessels and nutrients. The nail root does undergo mitosis, producing new nail cells that grow outwards. The cells that make up the nail plate produce keratin, a tough fibrous protein, before they die and become part of the nail. Therefore, all of these options are correct.
