P, Q and R are sex chromosomes because these help determine the sex of the fetus/baby.
The passage says P and Q form a female zygote; which means these are X chromosomes. 2 X chromosomes or as it is written XX chromosomes form a female zygote. So P and Q are same chromosomes. On the other hand Q and R forms male zygote I.e they are XY chromosomes.
X chromosomes are larger in size. So in this case P, Q are larger.
Thank you
