I shall be happy to critique your work.
Do you think this answer is correct?
The nucleus subatomic structure is held together by a strong force. While, it holds three quarks together to make a nucleon it also holds the nucleons together which forms the nucleus. A nucleon could be either a proton or neutron. The proton has two up quarks and one down quark. The neutron has one up quark and one down quark. There is also a weak force. It can change the neutron into a proton and electron combined or it can change a proton into a neutron combined with a positron. A neutron is changed into a proton, and an electron, and an anti neutrino that is how the beta emission works. In beta decay, a work force is involved.

I found this one error.
The neutron has one up quark and one (TWO) down quark. There is also a weak force.
The rest of it looks ok to me but I think it is a weak answer. I think diagrams and examples would help but you know best as to what your instructor expects. Also, I don't see any reference to W and Z bosons in the beta decay portion.
