No, it's a possible stage in the life cycle of a star.
Astronomers have detected a quasar in a distant galaxy.
No. A Quasar is a Black hole in center of some Galaxies. I think our Galaxy has one of them.
No, not in the slightest sense. A quasar, pulsar, and galaxy are three very different things.
Quite a bit more than that. A typical quasar is several times brighter than an entire galaxy that has no quasar.Quite a bit more than that.

Not "the" quasar, but "a" quasar - there are many. A quasar is associated with a supermassive black hole, and those are generally at the center of galaxies.
A type of galaxy is probably the answer you are looking for. However, a quasar is actually an active galactic nucleus.

A quasar will have the brightest galactic centre.
Scientists have only recently decided that a quasar is a galaxy with a relatively new supermassive black hole that has "recently" formed. This isn't certain, by any means; only a few years ago, there was considerable debate about what, exactly, a quasar was. As small as a star, brighter than a galaxy; nothing seemed to make sense.
That must refer to a quasar - however, the claim that it is "a thousand times brighter" is somewhat doubtful. A quasar may seem brighter than it is, (a) because of gravitational lensing, and (b) because the jet is pointed towards us. In any case, a quasar is a small region in a galaxy, which is often brighter than an entire normal galaxy.
A quasar is a galaxy that is radiating massive amount of radioactive energy. A quasar MAY have a black hole at it's center. A black hole is just dead star that collapsed in on itself.
