Fossils of Lystrosaurus, a dicynodont therapsid, are most common in parts of modern-day South America, South Africa, Madagascar, India, South Australia, and Antarctica. It apparently lived in arid regions, and was mostly herbivorous. It originated during the mid-Permian period, survived the Permian extinction, and dwindled by the late Triassic, though there is evidence of a relict population in Australia during the Cretaceous. The dicynodonts had two large tusks, extending down from their upper jaws; the tusks were not used for food gathering, and in some species were limited to males. Food was gathered using an otherwise toothless beak. Judging from the fossil record, these pig-sized organisms were the most common mammal-like reptiles of the Permian. Anatomically, what was true of Lystrosaurus?

Multiple factors regulate flowering in Arabidopsis. FT mRNA is expressed in companion cells of the leaf vein in response to multiple signals, including day length, light quality, and temperature. FT moves in the phloem from leaves to the apical meristem. FT is unloaded from the phloem in the meristem and interacts with FD.

FT-FD complex activates multiple genes. Which of the following combination is correct?(SS)
