The sugar present in RNA (including tRNA AND mRNA) is Ribose sugar.
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 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
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.
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.

Anticodons are characteristic of transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules. They are sequences of nucleotides within tRNA that are complementary to codons in messenger RNA (mRNA), allowing tRNA to correctly decode the genetic information in mRNA during protein synthesis.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries the anticodon.
uracil is the major one. Inosine is found in tRNA as well
