How do the contents of the MAR and MDR registers changes during the fetch decode execute cycle?

During the fetch-decode-execute cycle, the Memory Address Register (MAR) holds the address of the memory location from which data is to be fetched or to which data is to be written. In the fetch phase, the MAR is loaded with the address of the next instruction to be executed. The Memory Data Register (MDR) then temporarily holds the data fetched from memory or the data to be written to memory. As the cycle progresses, the contents of the MAR and MDR are updated based on the memory operations required for executing the instruction.
