Q33 / 100

What is a "universal gate," and give an example?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is A) A logic gate that can be used to implement any other type of logic gate or Boolean function; NAND and NOR are examples of universal gates

A

Correct Answer

A logic gate that can be used to implement any other type of logic gate or Boolean function; NAND and NOR are examples of universal gates

Explanation

NAND and NOR gates are called "universal" because any Boolean function (AND, OR, NOT, XOR, etc.) can be constructed using only NAND gates (or only NOR gates), which is useful for manufacturing simplicity.
