Yes, it has a mass - though the mass is quite small. As far as I know, the neutrino has not been found to have smaller parts.

How can a neutrino or charm quark have a mass of less than zero?
For now, no particle has a mass less than zero. The Electron Neutrino for example has a mass of 0.0000079 eV (Or something like that). And the Charm quark has a mass of 1.29 GeV. Maybe you mistook it with spin or charge?
What is a particle of relatively negligible mass?
An electron, with relatively negligible mass meaning the mass of an electron is so insubstantial that it isn't counted towards the total weight of the atom.
Why is a neutrino a candidate for dark matter?
Neutrinos are all but impossible to detect and it is thought that they may have mass. If they are found to have mass, they would be the epitome of dark matter.
What is the tiny subatomic particles related to the electron that has no electric charge and little mass?
a tiny subatomic particle related to the electron that has no electric charge and little mass is neutrino
What is the smallest whole particle on this planet?
The smallest particle is the muon neutrino. The subatomic particles are not measured in size; they are measured in energy. The muon neutrino has an energy of less than 0.170 MeV/c2.
Do muon neutrino posses mass?
unknown at this time
How small is a neutrino?
Pretty small. Although the exact mass of these particles (there are three "flavors" of neutrinos) is unknown, the maximum possible mass of the heaviest possible neutrino is about a millionth of the mass of an electron.

What particles the one with the least mass is the electron proton neutron or neutrino?
Neutrinos, but their mass is very, very small.
How do neutrinos differ from photon?
A photon is a unit of light and has a mass of 0 where is a Neutrino has a small but nonzero mass. Neutrino's are similar to electrons in most regards, except neutrino's have no charge. Where photon's travel at the speed of light neutrino's come close but do not.
What subatomic particles have a mass of 0?
The photon. This refers to the "rest mass"; since the photon has energy, it also has an associated mass. But the "rest mass" or "invariant mass" is zero.
How can neutrino oscillation explain the solar neutrino problem?
The solar neutrino problem relates to the discrepancy between the proportions of the different flavours of neutrinos emitted by the sun in the theoretical model as opposed to experimental measurements. Whilst the sun primarily emitts electron neutrinos, neutrino observatories such as SNO+ detected neutrinos in roughly equal proportions of the three flavours; furthermore the quantity of electron neutrinos detected was less than the theoretically predicted value. Both of these can be explained by neutrino oscillation - in which the neutrinos alter their mass to change their flavour (ie. an electron neutrinos gain mass to change to a muon neutrino). This would also explain the relative lack of electron neutrinos, thus solving the solar neutrino problem!
What is the smallest unit made up of?
Units of measurement aren't made up of anything. The smallest unit of measurement is the Plank unit - 10^-35m. The smallest sub atomic particle is a Neutrino, and it is made up of, a Neutrino!
Is there anything smaller than a neutrino?
Depends what you mean by "smaller." The mass of a photon is smaller than even that of a neutrino. At a sub-atomic level, concepts like "volume" or "size" become almost meaningless, so it is difficult to say whether the "size" of a neutrino is greater or less than that of, say, an electron.
Are atoms the smallest particles of matter?
No. The smallest particle of matter appears to be the electron neutrino, with a mass somewhat less than 2.2 eV. Even the electron, at 511 eV, is massive, compared to the neutrino.
What is a particle of relatively negligible mass?
An electron, with relatively negligible mass meaning the mass of an electron is so insubstantial that it isn't counted towards the total weight of the atom.
