The cell would make a new one. Scientists and biologists are still trying to figure out how the cell replaces a ribosome, but they believe it has something to do with the nucleus and the rough endoplasmic reticulum working together to process cell DNA and proteins.

Ribosomes are responsible for creating proteins based on the messenger-RNA that comes in. Without ribosomes, the cell would be unable to build proteins and since they are vital for the proper functioning of the cell, the cell would die (or not even start to live, depending on your view).

If ribosomes are defective then protein will not be synthesised and the cell will most likely not survive.

What is the job of the ribosome cell?

The ribosome is a small organelle which can be a "free" ribsome or an "attached" ribosome. The ribosome makes protein that is nessacary for the cell to carry out their processes. If a ribosome is free, then it floats around in a gelatin-like substance called cytoplasm in the cell. If a ribosome is attached, then it is located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). If their is a ribosome attached to it, then it is considered the rough endoplasmic reticululm (RER). If their is no ribosome, then it is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).
