Question

"Snurps" are composed of
A)RNA.
B)protein.
C)DNA.
D)RNA and protein.
E)DNA and RNA.

Accepted Answer

Snurps, also known as small nucleolar ribonucleoproteins, are composed of both RNA and protein. The RNA component, known as small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), guides the Snurp to a specific region of the pre-mRNA molecule where it modifies the RNA through chemical reactions. The protein component of the Snurp stabilizes the snoRNA and aids in its function.
