The cell organelle that will be affected by this poison is the RIBOSOMES.
This is because, it is the nucleoli that produce the ribosomal sub-units which are assemble together to form ribosomes.
Nucleoli produce ribosomal sub units from protein and ribosomal RNA, it then send the sub-unit to the interior of the cell where they are assemble into ribosomes.
