Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is typically stored on a ROM (Read-Only Memory) chip on the motherboard. This allows the BIOS to be executed when the computer is powered on, initializing and testing the hardware components before loading the operating system. ROM is used because it retains its contents even when the power is turned off, unlike RAM (Random Access Memory), which is volatile and loses its data without power. Dual-core and multi-core refer to processor architectures, not types of memory chips where BIOS could be stored.
