Twelve fundamental particles - six quarks and six leptons (the other type) - are the basic building blocks for everything in the universe. Both quarks and leptons are distinguished in terms of flavors . as a way to distinguish them from each other. The six quark flavors are: up, down, top, bottom, strange, and charm.
