chromosomes
In cell biology (subfield of Biology, Natural Science), during cell division (like mitosis), the "X - shaped" structures are chromosomes. Chromosomes are condensed and visible in this form during certain stages of cell division, and their X - shape is due to the presence of two sister chromatids joined at the centromere. The other options: PMATs is a mnemonic for cell division stages, Telophase is a stage of mitosis, and Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis and have a different structure.
