Controlling Parent-Child Objects via Script

Ok so here's a complicated question.

So I will try to explain what I did.

I have some sprites for the m_slotIcon array and I assign them in the Inpector
And I instatiate a gameobject that has a child object with a button component as you can see in the script.
Then I add a function called OnClick() to the created button.
Here is the m_slot prefab

And here is what I want to do

In the OnClick() function I want to instatiate a specific prefab lets say ribosome
But it should be the prefab that the button is responsable for.
As you can see I am working on a build system and I don't know how to do it.

public class OrganelleMenu : MonoBehaviour {

 [SerializeField] private GameObject m_slot;
 [SerializeField] private Sprite[] m_slotIcon;

 private Transform m_menu;

 private void Awake()
 {
     m_menu = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("OrganelleMenu").GetComponent<Transform>();
 }

 private void OnEnable()
 {
     for (int i = 0; i < m_slotIcon.Length; i++)
     {
         GameObject _slotInstance = Instantiate(m_slot, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);    //Instantiate slot

         _slotInstance.transform.SetParent(m_menu.transform);   //change slot parameters
         _slotInstance.transform.localScale = new Vector3(1, 1, 1);
         _slotInstance.name = m_slotIcon[i].name;
         _slotInstance.tag = m_slotIcon[i].name;

         GameObject _button =_slotInstance.GetComponentInChildren<Button>().gameObject;
         _button.GetComponent<Image>().sprite = m_slotIcon[i];
         _button.GetComponent<Button>().onClick.AddListener(OnClick);
     }
 }

 void OnClick()
 {
     string _organelleName = GetComponent<Transform>().name; // I do not know how to get the name of the slot
     Debug.Log("Clicked " + _organelleName);
 }

}
