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)
im pretty sure its 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.
I don't understand your question. mRNA does not have triplets. Did you mean codon? Triplet refers to DNA, codon to mRNA.
5, this was a bio question for me at Edison community college.
the three nucleotides on a mRNA that codes for a amino acid is called a codon

A nonsense codon, also known as a stop codon, is a three-nucleotide sequence in mRNA that signals the termination of translation. When a ribosome encounters a stop codon, protein synthesis stops, and the incomplete polypeptide chain is released. There are three stop codons: UAG, UAA, and UGA.
It is a triplet of bases (codon) coding for the amino acid tyrosine
DNA
The amino acid coded for by the original sequence can be determined based on the codon table. The sequence is comprised of sets of three nucleotides that correspond to specific amino acids, so you would need to convert the sequence into codons and then use the table to identify the amino acid coded for by those codons.
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.

Since each amino acid is coded for by a specific triplet of nucleotides (codon), and there is a start codon and a stop codon, we need 15 nucleotides in the mRNA (3 nucleotides for each amino acid + 3 for start codon + 3 for stop codon).
the three nucleotides on a mRNA that codes for a amino acid is called a codon
Since each amino acid is coded for by a combination of three nucleotide bases (a codon), the number of nucleotides in the gene sequence would be 3300 * 3 = 9900 nucleotide base pairs long.
