| 2. | During the Triassic, archosaurs displaced therapsids as the dominant amniotes.
|
| 3. | Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them.
|

| 6. | Cynodontia is one of the most diverse groups of therapsids.
|
| 7. | They consist of all synapsids except for the therapsids and their descendants.
|
| 8. | Pelycosauria is a paraphyletic taxon because it excludes the therapsids.
|
| 9. | One might say that the Sphenacodontians are proto-therapsids.
|
| 10. | Therapsids descended from a clade closely related to the sphenacodontids.
