Exam 312-49v10 topic 1 question 645 discussion

B. Zygote In Android, the Zygote process is a special process that starts at system boot time and acts as a template for all Dalvik Virtual Machine (DVM) instances. When a new application is launched, it forks from the Zygote process, which already has the DVM loaded, reducing the time and memory needed to start a new application. This process enables low memory consumption and quick start-up time for Android applications. This information is in accordance with the CHFI v10 textbook.

Zygote is one of the first init processes created after the device boots. It initializes the Dalvik virtual machine and tries to create multiple instances to support each Android process.
