The quark composition is different:
- proton: 2 up quarks + 1 down quark
- netron: 2 down quarks + 1 up quark
The down quark is heavier.
These particles are: proton, neutron, electron. Proton and neutron contain quarks and gluons.
No, a neutron is slightly more massive than a proton. Both particles have roughly the same mass, but due to the different composition of their internal quarks, the neutron is slightly heavier.
These particles are electron, proton, neutron. Protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons.
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.

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.
The quarks, building blocks of proton and neutron.
Electrons, down quarks, strange quarks, bottom quarks, muon lepton, and tau lepton all have negative charge. Also, the boson can be negative.
Yes, the down quark is slightly heavier than the up quark. However, the difference in mass between a neutron and a proton is not solely due to the difference between the down and up quarks. Other factors, such as binding energy and contributions from virtual particles, also play a role in the mass difference between the two particles.
