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.

What else can I help you with?

What charges does neutron carry?

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.

Is a quark bigger than a neutron?

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.
