Question 11

During a productive viral infection of a bacterial cell by a T4 bacteriophage, the host's cellular machinery has completed transcription and translation, resulting in an accumulation of viral genomic DNA and capsomeres within the cytoplasm.

Describe the final two processes that must occur for these structural components to become infectious extracellular virions capable of spreading the infection to adjacent host cells.
