Codon

Simple 2D schematic of a codon shown as exactly three adjacent RNA nucleotides on a short single-stranded mRNA segment, arranged linearly as one tightly grouped triplet. Depict a thin or lightly curved sugar-phosphate backbone, with three connected nucleotide units. Each nucleotide should be clearly distinct by color, label, letter, shaped base, or emphasized block, with three bases such as AUG or UGA projecting from the backbone or displayed as three adjacent boxes on an mRNA ribbon. The bases should be evenly spaced and visually grouped to emphasize a single three-base codon sequence.
