All of the following statements are accurate except: snRNPs are an important component of the ribosome. Some snRNPs orchestrate splicing by complementary base pairing with conserved sequences in the pre-mRNA. Some snRNPs function as ribozymes, i.e. they catalyze chemical reactions in the splicing process. snRNPs are short nuclear RNAs complexed with splicing proteins. snRNPs are an important component of the spliceosome.

Answer:

Options (1).

Step-by-step explanation:

snRNPS ( small nuclear ribonucleoproteins) are the molecules contains both the RNA and proteins. They has the ability to work as the enzyme and known as ribozyme.

snRNPs are not the important component of the ribosome. They play an important role in the process of splicing in case of eukaryotes. snRNPs are also helpful in the protein processing and acts as the signal recognition particle for the proteins.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
