SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on constructing an AND gate and a NOT gate using a 2X1 multiplexer. A 2X1 multiplexer has two inputs, one select line, and one output. To create an AND gate, both inputs should be connected to the multiplexer without fixing any input values. For the NOT gate, one input must be fixed while the other input is connected to the multiplexer. These configurations allow for the desired logical operations to be achieved effectively.
