If you mean as a whole, most chromosomes resemble the shape of the letter X. There may be a sex chromosome, and it may resemble the letter V in males of the species, though in that case, it is called a Y-Chromosome. During the anaphase of mitosis, they would be L-shaped.

If you mean in terms of the shape of the genetic material, then chromosomes have a double-helix shape.
