Answer:

The ribosomes

Step-by-step explanation:

Ribosomes are the organelle that produce proteins within eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells- taking information from the DNA in order to produce proteins.

Other organelles may be held responsible for the lack of protein production, but in this case it is most likely the ribosome.
