Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The deepest epidermal sublayer, the stratum basale, supplies the epidermis with new cells after older superficial cells have been damaged or lost through normal wear.
Rationale 2: The deepest epidermal sublayer, the stratum basale, not the dermis, supplies the epidermis with new cells.
Rationale 3: The deepest epidermal sublayer, the stratum basale, not the stratum corneum, supplies the epidermis with new cells.
