No more than one, we think. Quasars are so distant that it is difficult to distinguish details about their parent galaxies.
Quasars still exist.
No. Quasars are at the centers of distant galaxies.
Not the existence of quasars, but the fact that all quasars are distant from us. The best explanation for what we observe when we see quasars is that they are super-massive black holes in early galaxies, burning up solar "fuel" so rapidly that they eventually run out. We do not observe any quasars near to us, so the conditions that allowed quasars to form must have existed only several billion years ago. If our Universe has not changed its basic structure and density over the last 15 billion years or so, then the conditions that would allow quasars would allow them to exist at any time over that span. This would mean that there should be just as many quasars close to us as there are far from us. But we just don't see that. As is the case with many of the things we see, this is easy to explain via Big Bang Cosmology but almost impossible to explain with any alternative.
Scientists use radio waves to study distant quasars because quasars emit large amounts of radio waves but not much visible light.

Quasars are thought to be distant super-massive black holes.
The first quasars were discovered in the 1950's
Yes. Quasars are the size of the solar system.
Quasars do not have galaxies in them, quasars are at the hearts of galaxies. All quasars are located in galaxies, as a quasar involves massive amounts of material falling into a supermassiv black hole. Neither of these can be found outside of a galaxy.
Scientists use radio waves to study distant quasars because quasars emit large amounts of radio waves but not much visible light.
pulsar and quasars
Not entirely - although it is believed that quasars are caused by a gigantic black hole.
