I believe its true.
Computers need a processor. The early processors were made using separate components, logic gate ICs and transistors.
They became MICROprocessors when all the logic gates and components were combined onto a single silicone chip, as a dedicated processor.
Colossus Mark II, an improvement on Colossus Mark I which was designed to crack the Germans' code during WWII in 1943/1944.
no
Early computers were placed in 2 categories, allowing them to be optimized to their user's needs:scientific - these computers had large fixed wordsizes(e.g. 24 bits, 36 bits, 40 bits, 48 bits, 60 bits) and their memory could generally only be addressed to the word, no smaller sized entity could be addressed.business - these computers addressed memory by characters (e.g. 6 bits), if they supported the concept of words at all the machine usually had a variable wordlength that the programmer could specify in someway according to the needs of the program. Their memory was addressed to the character.This was true for both first and second generation computers, but in the third generation computer manufacturers decided to unify the 2 categories of computers to reduce the number of different architectures they had to support. IBM with the introduction of the System/360 in 1964 introduced the concept of thebyte (8 bits) as an independently addressable part of a large fixed word (32 bits). Other computer manufacturers soon followed this practice too.
no
it was introduced first by Philips.

True. Some of these computers used hybrid integrated circuits (e.g. IBM System/360) and some used monolithic integrated circuits (e.g. Apollo Guidance Computer, Minuteman II Guidance Computer)

yes it is true
If they are truly integrated, One chip. True LSI circuits, approaching 10,000 transistors, began to be produced around 1974, for computer main memories and second-generation microprocessors.

Mendel called the offspring of the first filial generation "F1 hybrids" or "first filial generation." These offspring result from crossing two true-breeding parents with different traits.
the transistor is on the second generations
