Bosons are subatomic particles which have integer spin and obey Bose-Einstein statistics. There can be more than one boson at a given point in space with the same quantum state. Bosons are the force carriers. Known bosons are the photon (light), the gluon (strong force), the neutral weak force carrier, and the charged weak force carrier.

What are gauge bosons?
Gauge bosons are elementary particles (subatomic particles). An elementary particle is a substance that can not be broken down anymore. So to answer your question: Gauge bosons are the forces of what makes up nature. For example: Photon=electromagnetic force, gluon=strength, z and w bosons=weakness and gravitons=gravity (not yet observed). The different particles can be found on the Elementary particle table. I hope this partially answers your question.
What are gluons made of?
point particles that are bosons, they have no internal structure.
What is a subatomic particle known as?
They are leptons, bosons, hadrons, fermions etc.
What is the differences between a w boson and a virtual photon?
W-bosons are charged and the photons are uncharged, W-bosons have a non zero rest mass and photons hsve zero rest mass. Also the W-boson is the "exchange particle" in interactions involving the weak nuclear force, but photons are the exchange particle of the electromagentic force.
What particles or structure would not contain any quarks?
Any particle that is not a hadron does not contain quarks. Fundamental bosons and leptons are the only category of particles that do not contain quarks.
The weak force is transmitted by.?
The weak nuclear force is transmitted by gauge bosons, these bosons are W+, W- and Z bosons.
What are some examples of bosons?
Bosons are the carriers of forces. Examples are the photon, gluon, W and Z bosons, and the not yet found Higgs boson and the graviton.
What is all of the matter in the universe made of?
quarks and leptons, held together by gluons, W+ bosons, W- bosons, photons, and gravitons
How do we explain particle classification in terms of bosons and fermions?
Bosons are particles that follow Bose-Einstein statistics, fermions are particles that follow Fermi-Dirac statistics. Another way of saying that is that fermions obey the Pauli exclusion principle and bosons do not.
What is all the matter in the universe made of?

All matter is made up of what?
quarks and leptons, held together by gluons, W+ bosons, W- bosons, gravitons, and photons

point particles that are bosons, they have no internal structure.
Are Gravitons sub atomic particles?
Yes, Gravitons are hypothetical sub-atomic particles / gauge bosons. These bosons are predicted to behave similarly to photons, having zero rest mass and infinite range, their force is predominant over very large distances. Like all gauge bosons, these are the mediators of what we experience as "force".
What is a subatomic particle known as?
They are leptons, bosons, hadrons, fermions etc.
Smallest subparticle gluon meson or boson?
Gluons are force mediators, mesons are composite bosons, and bosons have an integral spin. Neither of these are the smallest particle. The smallest particles are quarks and electrons, believed to be single points.
What doesn't have mass?
There are three known massless particles. Gauge bosons, gluons, and photons.
