Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of the spliceosome: The spliceosome is a complex responsible for removing introns from pre-mRNA in eukaryotic cells, a process known as splicing.

Identify the components of the spliceosome: The spliceosome is composed of small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) and a variety of associated proteins.

Recognize the function of snRNAs: These snRNAs, along with proteins, form small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), which are essential for the splicing process.

Differentiate between the options: The spliceosome is not made of DNA, so eliminate any options that include DNA.

Select the correct components: Since the spliceosome is made of both RNA (snRNAs) and proteins, the correct answer is 'RNA and Protein'.
