JFET = junction field-effect transistor. The transistor design is to restrict/control the current in the channel by expanding or contracting the depletion region, hence the channel cross-section, with a gate signal. The gate is the junction in JFET, compared with using oxide in an MOSFET.
JFET is a unijunction transistor.
Field-effect transistors were invented by Julius Edgar Lilienfeld in 1925 and by Oskar Heil in 1934, but practical devices were not able to be made until 1952 (the JFET). The MOSFET, which largely superseded the JFET and had a more profound effect on electronic development, was first proposed by Dawon Kahng in 1960.
A Jfet works by applying voltage to the drain of the jfet. A jfet will then conduct across from drain to source.

No, jfet works only in depletion mode.

It depends on the topology of the circuit in which the JFET is operating.

1-BJT is bipolar while JFET is unipolar. 2-BJT has low input impedence while JFET has high input impedence. 3-JFET has low power discipation as compared to BJT. 4-JFET has low noise as compared to BJT. 5-BJT is current controlled while JFET is voltage controlled. 6-JFET is mostly used in digital circuits.
The structure of a UJT is quite similar to that of an N-channel JFET. The main difference is that P-type (gate) material surrounds the N-type (channel) material in case of JFET and the gate surface of the JFET is much larger than emitter junction of UJT.
