Answer:

<em><u>b) skin cells go through the process of mitosis to make new identical cells.</u></em>

Explanation:

The skin is the largest organ in the human body; it forms a protective barrier that keeps out external pathogens, and is integral to waste removal. When the organ is injured, damaged cells initiate an immune response, while healthy cells nearby begin to replicate.

This type of cell replication involves somatic cells and results in the diploid number of chromosomes called mitosis. Skin cells are somatic- they contain all 24 pairs of human chromosomes. During replication, the chromosomes are unwound, and copied- then, the newly copied chromosomes separate into two identical daughter cells with the same chromosome number.
