The components of an instruction are its op code and one or more ______.</p><p>3. The contents of a memory location are copied to a register while performing a(n) ______operation.</p><p>4. A left ______instruction multiplies a binary numeric value by two.</p><p>5. A(n) ______instruction alters the sequence of instruction execution only if a specified condition is true.</p><p>6. The use of ______instructions simplifies the process of fetching and decoding those instructions.</p><p>7. A(n) ______processor does not directly implement instructions that combine data movement and manipulation.</p><p>8. A(n) ______CPU typically uses variable length instructions and has a large instruction set.</p><p>9. The ______time of a processor is 1 divided by the clock rate (in Hz).</p><p>10.
