Answer 1
Er, Onan, Shelah, Pharez and Zarah.
Answer 2
Er, Onan and Shelah were sons of Judah by Shuah the Canaanite. Both Er and Onan were slain by the Lord due to their wickedness. (Gen 38:2-10).
Pharez and Zarah (twins) were sons of Judah by Tamar. (Gen 38:18, and 38:29-30)
Answer 3
Judah had 5 sons - 3 with his Canaanite wife Shua - Er, Onan, and Shelah. He also had 2 twin sons from Tamar - Pharez (Perez) and Zerah. The story may be read in Genesis 38 and is highly recommended as Tamar's children are the ancestors of King David and may answer the promise of God that his line will always be on the throne of Israel.

No. Abram, whose name was changed by God to Abraham, was the father of Isaac. (See Gen. 21.) Isaac was the father of Jacob. (See Gen. 25:19 and the following verses.) Isaac had 12 sons who, roughly speaking, gave their names to the 12 tribes of the Israelites. One of those sons was named Judah, and his descendants, generally speaking, were members of the tribe of Judah. (See Gen. 49 where Jacob blesses his sons, but is also making prophecies about the tribes that will be named for each of them.)
