Follow the pathway in the cell’s production of proteins: DNA in the [a] (organelle?) codes for proteins. RNA is made from DNA. RNA exits the organelle through the [b]. The RNA goes to a [c] in the cytoplasm for protein production. For modification the protein enters the interior (lumen!) of the [d]. The protein then travels by vesicle to the [e] for final modification and sorting and shipping. The protein then travels by vesicle to its final destination.
