If an organism is missing the U5 snRNP,it will have trouble performing which step of splicing?
A) Binding of snRNPs to the 5' splice site
B) Binding of snRNPs to the branch site
C) Formation of the intron loop
D) Exon degredation

The U5 snRNP plays a crucial role in the formation of the intron loop during splicing. Without the U5 snRNP, the intron cannot be properly looped and spliced out, leading to aberrant splicing products. The other steps listed do not directly involve the U5 snRNP.
