Final answer:

To store a 1 and 0 in ROM, a connection is made at the intersection of the row and column lines to represent a 1, and no connection is made to represent a 0. This setup is permanent and non-volatile, meaning it retains data without power.

Step-by-step explanation:

To illustrate how to store a 1 and 0 in a row of Read-Only Memory (ROM), we have to understand that ROM is non-volatile memory used in computers and electronic devices. A ROM chip contains a grid where data is stored using the presence or absence of a circuit connection.

Generally, data in ROM is written during the manufacturing process and cannot be modified. To represent a 1, a connection (or a programmed fuse) is typically made at the intersection of the row and column lines. To represent a 0, no connection is made.

Here is a simplified diagram:

  • Row 1: [1] [0] [1] [0] - In this example, the connections are made at the first and third positions to represent '1's, and no connections are made at the second and fourth positions to represent '0's.

This method of storing data is what allows ROM to keep its contents even when the power is turned off.
