True

Explanation:

RNA processing or splicing refers to the process of removing the non-coding sequences (introns) from the pre-mRNA and the coding sequences (exons) are then joined to undergo translation.

But an mRNA can undergo more than one splicing and can form multiple types of mRNA for translation through a process called the alternative splicing.

The alternative splicing removes the introns between the exons and can form more than one combination of exons and thus different proteins after the translation.

Thus, true is correct.
