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.
Yes, the mRNA sequence is created by transcribing the complementary strand of the DNA sequence, so it is almost an exact copy. However, in RNA, uracil replaces thymine, so the mRNA codon is identical to the DNA triplet except for the substitution of uracil for thymine.
C&G can only pair up ,and U&A can only pair up.
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 ribosome serves as the meeting place for the tRNA (transfer RNA) and mRNA (messenger RNA) during protein synthesis. Ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm of cells and are responsible for translating the genetic code carried by the mRNA into a specific protein.

A triplet of bases on tRNA is called an anticodon. The anticodon pairs with a complementary triplet of bases called a codon on mRNA during protein synthesis. This pairing ensures that the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.
A tRNA molecule with the anti-codon AAU should match up with the mRNA codon UUA. This tRNA will be carrying the amino acid Leucine.
mRNA triplets are three-nucleotide sequences in mRNA that code for specific amino acids during protein synthesis. These triplets, called codons, are recognized by tRNA molecules carrying the corresponding amino acids, allowing for accurate translation of the genetic code into proteins.

mRNA and tRNA work together to complete the process of translation, which is the second step of protein synthesis, in which the genetic code on the mRNA is translated into a sequence of amino acids by the tRNA.
Each tRNA molecule contains a specific three-base segment (anticodon) which binds to the complementary codon in mRNA,and a binding site for a specific amino acid.
mRNA and tRNA work together to complete the process of translation, which is the second step of protein synthesis, in which the genetic code on the mRNA is translated into a sequence of amino acids by the tRNA.
The mRNA codons are used in the genetic code to specify which amino acids correspond to each three-nucleotide codon. tRNA anticodons complement the mRNA codons during translation to ensure the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. Both mRNA codons and tRNA anticodons play essential roles in protein synthesis.
The anticodon on tRNA recognizes the codon on mRNA through complementary base pairing. This interaction helps to ensure the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain during translation. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases play a key role in charging tRNAs with the appropriate amino acid based on the anticodon sequence.
tRNA - Transfer RNA tRNA binds amino acids through a two step "charging" reaction and brings those amino acids to the ribosome. The reaction is catalysed by the enzyme aminoacyl transferase. There are many different tRNA molecules, at least one for each amino acid, but not necessarily one for every triplet codon. The triplet codons are groups of three RNA bases on mRNA that code for a specific amino acid in a protein, and are matched to the complementary anticodon in tRNA. Through "wobble" it is possible for one tRNA molecule with a single anticodon to bind two triplet codons on mRNA, with a single non Watson-Crick base pair (usually the third base). Without this "wobble", there would have to be 61 different tRNA molecules (there are 64 possible triplet codons, but three of then signal termination and are not recognised by tRNA). With the "wobble", there could be as few as 20, one for each amino acid.
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
