Describe assembly (maturation) of the RNA virus (step 5) |
After replication of the viral DNA in the cytoplas and the biosythesis of capsid proteins in the cytoplasm... capsid proteins assemble with viral DNA to form virions in the cytoplasm, and the virion particles are transported to the host cells membrane for release. - little more simple for RNA virus. No nucleus involved, everything's in the cytoplasm. |

Describe release from the host cell (step 6/final step) for an enveloped virus |
Budding is the superior way to exit. The membrane encases the capsid, once it pinches off it releases. Explains how they get their membrane from the host cell. |

Describe release from the host cell (step 6/final step) for a nonenveloped virus |
Lysis of the host cell allows exit of the nonenveloped virion particles by rupturing of the host cell membrane. |
