snRNAs ___________________
(a) are translated into snRNPs.
(b) are important for producing mature mRNA transcripts in bacteria.
(c) are removed by the spliceosome during RNA splicing.
(d) can bind to specific sequences at intron–exon boundaries through complementary base-pairing.
(d) snRNAs are part of the snRNPs, which include proteins and RNA molecules. The proteins within the snRNPs are encoded by their own genes and not translated from snRNPs, which is why choice (a) is incorrect. Bacteria do not have introns, which is why choice (b) is incorrect.
