Traditional farming does not involve biotechnological methods, while the other options are applications of biotechnology.

'Up' is not a cardinal direction; the cardinal directions are north, east, south, and west.

While the Academy Awards include categories like Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, there is no specific category for Best Editor.

Best Editor is not a category in the Academy Awards; the categories include Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.

A Fibonacci sequence cannot be expressed as a linear function; it is defined recursively.

In a geometric progression, the terms are numeric and follow a specific ratio; thus, non-numeric terms do not fit the definition.

In a geometric sequence, the ratio between consecutive terms is constant, not the difference.

In a geometric series, the ratio between consecutive terms is constant, not the difference.

Species diversity refers to the variety of species in an ecosystem, not a characteristic of a single population.

Processes can be interdependent; they can communicate and synchronize with each other.

A regular polygon is defined as a polygon with all sides and angles equal, and it cannot be concave; it must be convex.

A satellite in a stable orbit does experience a net force (gravitational force), but it is in free fall, moving with constant speed along a curved path.

Threads are lighter than processes; they share the same memory space and are designed for concurrent execution.

Adsorption is a surface phenomenon, while absorption is a bulk phenomenon.

Ecosystems are dynamic and characterized by changing populations, not static populations.

An effective team thrives on feedback, so a lack of feedback is not a characteristic of an effective team.

Endothermic reactions absorb heat, feel cold, and have a positive ΔH; they do not release heat.

An exothermic reaction releases heat and has a negative ΔH. It causes the temperature of the surroundings to increase, not absorb energy.

An ideal solution has a constant boiling point and obeys Raoult's law, while variable composition is not a characteristic.

Chemisorption is typically irreversible, unlike physisorption which is reversible.

Crystalline solids exhibit anisotropy, meaning their properties vary with direction, while isotropy refers to uniform properties in all directions.

D-block elements typically have variable oxidation states and lower ionization energies compared to p-block elements.

Essential oils are typically non-water-soluble and are known for their volatile and aromatic properties.

Gases do not have a definite volume; they expand to fill their container.

Frequent conflicts without resolution is NOT a characteristic of high-performing teams, as they typically manage conflicts constructively.

Hybrid sets can include duplicate elements, especially when they are formed from multiple sources.

Ionic solids do not conduct electricity in the solid state; they conduct when melted or dissolved in water.

K-selected species typically have low reproductive rates, focusing on raising fewer offspring with high parental care.

Decay is not a characteristic of life; it is a process that occurs after death.

Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, hence they do not have a definite shape.
