The newly synthesized viral components are then assembled in the cytoplasm before being released from the cell.

Viruses are composed of two main parts: an outer protein covering called a capsid and an inside core of either DNA or RNA. Not both DNA and RNA. Some of these have an envelope over the capsid.
