Answer:

The answer is Ribosome.

Step-by-step explanation:

Protein synthesis in a cell is called as transcription. Ribosomes are sites where protein synthesis takes place. A ribosome is composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. These are present in the cytoplasm of a cell or attached to endoplasmic reticulum. If the cell is unable to produce protein most likely its ribosynthetic Machinery is not functional.
