Addition of monomers is not a step in condensation polymerization; it is characteristic of addition polymerization.

Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from DNA, which is not a step in gene cloning.

Protein synthesis is not a step in recombinant DNA technology; the process focuses on manipulating DNA rather than directly synthesizing proteins.

The set {d} does not contain any elements from {a, b, c}, so it is not a subset.

Weight gain is not a typical symptom of diabetes; rather, weight loss is more common in type 1 diabetes.

'Disorder' is the opposite of a schedule, which is organized.

Zinc is not considered a transition metal because it does not have an incomplete d subshell in its elemental state.

Henry's law describes solubility, not adsorption, while Langmuir, Freundlich, and BET are types of adsorption isotherms.

CPU (Central Processing Unit) is not a type of memory; it is the main processing unit of a computer.

Epithelial tissue is not a type of connective tissue; it serves as a protective layer and is distinct from connective tissues.

Thermal constraints are not typically classified as constraints in the context of motion and distribution.

Quadratic is not a recognized type of crystal system; the correct systems include cubic, tetragonal, hexagonal, orthorhombic, and others.

Amorphous solids do not have a long-range order and are not classified as crystalline solids.

Hold and wait is a condition that can lead to deadlock, not a prevention technique.

Continuous Wave Modulation (CWM) is not a type of digital modulation; it refers to analog modulation techniques.

Plastic deformation is not elastic; it is permanent deformation that occurs beyond the elastic limit.

Transgenic inheritance is not a recognized pattern of inheritance; it refers to organisms that have been genetically modified.

Hydrogen isomerism is not a recognized type of isomerism in chemistry.

An ocean is not a landform; it is a large body of saltwater, while canyons, deserts, and plateaus are types of landforms.

'Algorithm' is a mathematical concept, while the others are literary devices used in writing.

Tensile modulus is not a standard term; the correct terms are Young's modulus, shear modulus, and bulk modulus.

T-wave is not a recognized type of seismic wave; the main types are P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves (L-waves).

Xylem is a complex tissue, while parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma are types of simple permanent tissues.

Hardware is not a type of software; it refers to the physical components of a computer.

Thermal stress is a result of temperature changes, while tensile, compressive, and shear stresses are types of mechanical stress.

Electrolysis is not a type of transport in plants; it is a chemical process involving the decomposition of substances.

A quadrilateral is a four-sided figure and not a type of triangle.

A Quadrilateral is a four-sided figure, not a triangle.

A mesa is not a volcanic landform; it is a flat-topped hill with steep sides, formed by erosion.

Joule is a unit of energy, not power. Power is measured in Watts, Kilowatts, and Horsepower.
