The first path is from the nucleus. DNA from the nucleus, assigns specific job for the organelles to follow through mRNA. The mRNA goes out from the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where ribosomes will attach to the mRNA. The ribosome-mRNA combination binds to the endoplasmic reticulum and signals the tRNA to translate the message from DNA. A vesicle that contains the enzyme grows out from the endoplasmc reticulum ans transport the enzyme to the Golgi body for further processing. The main organelle would be the Golgi Body.
