If the nucleolus is damaged and non functional, it will have an adverse effect on protein synthesis in the cells. The nucleolus is a cell organelle that is located inside the nucleus. It is responsible for synthesizing the ribosomal RNA, which it combines with proteins in order to assemble ribosomal sub units which are very important in protein synthesis. Therefore, if the nucleolus is damaged and non functional, the cell will not be able to synthesize proteins.
