Any baryon by definition contains three quarks (or three antiquarks). The neutron, and proton, by the way, are both baryons, and the neutron contains two down quarks and one up quark.
Neutrons are made of quarks (3 per neutron).
A neutron carries no net electric charge since it is made up of three quarks: two down quarks and one up quark. The combination of these quarks results in a neutral overall charge for the neutron.
Supposedly one of the down quarks of the neutron becomes an up; thus the neutron becomes a proton and an electron (and a neutrino) are emitted.
Each proton and neutron is made up of three quarks.
Each proton and neutron is made up of three quarks
Yes, neutrons are bigger than quarks; it takes three quarks to make a neutron, and the whole is larger than the components. Based on the current understanding of the force between the quarks, we also have an idea of how far apart they are within the neutron.

Quarks
A neutron is composed of quarks. It has one "up" quark and two "down" quarks in it. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article, and drawings and more information can be gathered there. Why not surf on over?
The elementary particle for a neutron is called a quark. Neutrons are made up of three quarks: two Down quarks and one Up quark.
3 each. A proton is composed of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark. A neutron is composed of 1 up quark and 2 down quarks.
