Answer: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Diploid is simply referred to as a cell or an organism which possess paired chromosomes. The paired chromosomes are gotten from each of the parents.

It should be noted that the total chromosomes that will be found in the cattle's somatic cell is 60. Therefore, the pair will be 60/2 = 30.
