A patient's cotranslational and post-translational processes have reversed roles. based on this knowledge, identify what type of sorting occurs with proteins destined for each organelle

In this patient, the proteins that usually take the process of post-translational to incorporate their organelle, take now the process of cotranslational, and vice-versa.
In this patient, for cotranslational, we would have proteins for organelles such as mitochondria, nucleus, vacuole, and peroxisomes.
For post-translational,
we would have proteins for organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum, golgi, plasma membrane, and lysomes.
