The answer to your question is V's. MOST chromosomes take the shape of
an X or a Y, but funny things happen in genetics and one X can end up as
two V's. It comes from a break at the centromere, or the center. If
the breaks have not gained genetic material, resulting in Y's, then an X
from one could bind to two V's in another.
