Three tRNA nucleotides form a codon, which corresponds to a specific amino acid during protein synthesis. In the context of tRNA, this triplet is often referred to as an anticodon, which pairs with the corresponding codon on mRNA to ensure the correct amino acid is incorporated into the growing polypeptide chain.
The nucleotides in tRNA are called ribonucleotides. Each tRNA molecule consists of a sequence of these ribonucleotides, which include adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and uracil (U). These nucleotides are essential for the tRNA's function in translating mRNA sequences into amino acids during protein synthesis. Additionally, the specific sequence of nucleotides allows tRNA to recognize and bind to corresponding codons on mRNA.
DNA, mRNA, and tRNA
The four nucleotides present in tRNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and uracil (U). These nucleotides form base pairs to create the three-dimensional structure of tRNA that allows it to carry specific amino acids during protein synthesis.
The sugar present in RNA (including tRNA AND mRNA) is Ribose sugar.
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.

The codon and the anticodon interact with each other via hydrogen bonding, hence both the codon and anticodon are made up of the same number of nucleotides, which is three.

Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries the anticodon.

the three special nucleotide sequences are anticodon loop,dloop and aminoacid acceptor arm
This arrangement is called a codon.In DNA and RNA a group of three nucleotides in a row is called a codon. In tRNA a group of three nucleotides is called an anticodon.
tRNA (transfer RNA)
The sugar present in RNA (including tRNA AND mRNA) is Ribose sugar.
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.
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.
Three nucleotide represent a codon, which, when translated from mRNA to tRNA, codes for a particular amino acid in a polypeptide chain.
