Where is a backup GPT table of entries located?

right after a GPT backup header
right before a GPT backup header

Where is a backup GPT header located?

1024 sectors after the main GPT header
at the beginning of the physical disk

true
false

Check what size an MBR partition can have on a GPT disk

true
false

Why do the disks with GPT have MBR as well?

to provide additional reliability in case of failure
two partitioning schemes are better than one
to provide additional performance
to provide compatibility with old partitioning software
