Solution

The correct option is C A is true and R is false
Spliceosomes are complex proteins involved in splicing of mRNA, which involves the removal of introns and binding of exons. Spliceosomes are made up of snRNPs (commonly pronounced ‘snurps’) and proteins. The snRNPs chiefly help identify the areas to be spliced on mRNA.
