ribozymes are
a catalysts for rna splicing
b unique to eukaryotes
c ribosomes which catalyze reactions
d unique to prokaryotes
e catalysts for dna splicing
Ribozymes are RNA molecules that can act as catalysts. In the context of RNA splicing, some ribozymes are involved in the process of removing introns and joining exons. Ribozymes are not unique to eukaryotes (prokaryotes also have them in some cases), they are not ribosomes (ribosomes are larger complexes with proteins and rRNA, and ribozymes are just RNA catalysts), and they do not catalyze DNA splicing (they act on RNA).
