Is the nucleotide sequence in an mRNA codon an exact copy of the DNA triplet that coded for it?

No. It's the RNA nucleotides that code for the DNA.
The tRNA then in turn codes for a specific protein.
So, for example, if the DNA sequence is TAG, the tRNA is AUC. (Uracil replacing thyamine in RNA)

What is each nucleotide triplet in mrna that specifies a specific amino acid called?
im pretty sure its a codon
What are the best nucleotide triplets that best represent a codon?
The best nucleotide triplets that represent a codon are Adenosine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Uracil (A, C, G, and U). These nucleotides form RNA molecules, which are used during protein synthesis to encode the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Each triplet of nucleotides, or codon, corresponds to a specific amino acid or a signal to start or stop protein synthesis.
What is a triplet of nucleotides that is the code for one amino acid?
I don't understand your question. mRNA does not have triplets. Did you mean codon? Triplet refers to DNA, codon to mRNA.
What is the term for a 3-nucleotide sequence on mRNA that codes for an amino acid?
the three nucleotides on a mRNA that codes for a amino acid is called a codon
What is the difference between a codon from an anticodon and explain the significance of each?
A codon is the triplet sequence in messenger RNA (mRNA) that specifies an amino acid or a start or stop command. Its complementary sequence in transfer RNA (tRNA) is called the anticodon.
What are the complement of the codons and are found on the opposite side of he rna?
tRNA (or transfer RNA) molecules contain an anti-codon loop that contains within it a triplet complementary nucleotide sequence to that of the codon. This triplet is called the anti-codon
Which amino acid is coded by the DNA codon TAC?
It is a triplet of bases (codon) coding for the amino acid tyrosine

What is codon recognition?
Short Answer is: for every triplet codon there is a recognizable anti-triplet codon.
What is non sense codon?
A nonsense codon is nucleotide triplet that does not code for an amino acid, but rather it promotes the stop of transcription. These codons include UAA, UGA, and UGA.
What amino acid is coded for by this sequence before mutation?
The neutral mutation does not change the amino acid coded for by the codon. A good example is the RNA codon that could be the CCA, CCC or the CCG.

The neutral mutation does not change the amino acid coded for by the codon. A good example is the RNA codon that could be the CCA, CCC or the CCG.
What protein sequence is coded by the code UAG?
The sequence UAG is the mRNA codon that means "stop" and does not code for an amino acid.
