Three sequential mRNA nucleotides are called a codon, which codes for one amino acid.
There are four nucleotides in tRNA that are complementary to the four nucleotides on mRNA. Both types of RNA contain the nucleotides adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. In both types of RNA adenine is complementary to uracil, and cytosine is complementary to guanine.
If you mean messenger RNA (mRNA), then yes, a triplet of mRNA nucleotides is known as a mRNA codon. However, if you mean transfer RNA (tRNA), then the answer is no. A triplet of tRNA nucleotides is known as an anticodon.

groups of three nuleotides in mRNA codes for each one specific amino acid, these groups of three nucleotides are called as codon

RNA Polymerase is the enzyme responsible for adding RNA nucleotides to make mRNA.
Every codon is three nucleotide pairs, so you would have 25 codons.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) serves as the primary transcript, and its nucleotide sequence determines the amino acid sequence of proteins. A codon in mRNA comprises of three nucleotides that encode a specific amino acid. For example, the codon for glutamine is CAG (Cytosine, Adenine and Guanine). The most common stop and start codon is TAA and AUG respectively.
the three nucleotides on a mRNA that codes for a amino acid is called a codon
Three nucleotides on an mRNA which codes for a specific amino acid is called a codon.
During the translation process, the translation machinery reads the sequence of nucleotides present on the mRNA. The sequence of nucleotides on mRNA is divided in codons, these are set of three nucleotides. There are total 64 codons that contiguously present on mRNA. corresponding to each mRNA codon there is a tRNA that has an anticodon loop that has three nucleotide complementary to the codon. Now Anticodons bind to their specific amino acid called as the charging of the tRNA and carry to the mRNA that is bound to ribosome. The catalytic activity of the 16s rRNA leds to the formation of peptide bond between the coming and the already added amino acid.
