NAND Gate
The truth table and symbol of the NAND gate is as shown below. The two inputs are A and B.


NAND Gate as NOT Gate

NAND Gate as OR Gate

NAND Gate as AND Gate

NOR Gate
The truth table and symbol of the NOR gate is as shown below.


NOR Gate as NOT Gate

NOR Gate as OR Gate

NOR Gate as AND Gate

The above diagrams makes it clear that the combination of NAND and NOR Gates can result into any of the basic gates (AND, OR and NOT Gates). Hence, NAND and NOR Gates are called as Universal Gates.
