Complementary base-pairing is important in splicing because... Select one: a. snRNAs (the RNA component of snRNPs) base pair with specific intron sequences in the mRNA b. introns base-pair with exons c. None of these options are correct d. mRNA matches up with the DNA during splicing to mark the position of introns e. the ends of introns base-pair with others to form a loop.

Which of the following is true of snRNPs? A) They bind to splice sites at the beginning and end of each gene. B) They function only inside the nucleus. C) They join to form a structure called a spliceosome. D) They are made up of RNA and proteins. E) They connect exons to introns in the correct order.
