Answer:


60 chromosome.

Step-by-step explanation:

The skin cells divide by the process of mitosis cell division while sex cells divide by the process of meiosis cell division.

In a mitotic cell division, a parent cell divides into two or more identical cells having equal number of chromosomes. Thus, in a mitotic cell division haploid cell are produced.

Number of chromosome in daughter cell
= number of chromosome in parent cell

Therefore, after mitotic cell division, each daughter skin cell will have
60 chromosome.
