Typically speaking, the maxillary (or upper) molars have 3 roots (with canals) and the mandibular (or lower) molars have 2 roots (with canals). As for the wisdom teeth (3rd molars), whether they are upper or lower molars, it is impossible to say what is 'typical' since there are so many variations. However, roots of 3rd molars are often fused together.

Four, which defines a molar. So if you have a root canal of a molar, make sure to reserve enough time for that procedure.
