ribose
The sugar present in RNA (including tRNA AND mRNA) is Ribose sugar.
Three sequential mRNA nucleotides are called a codon, which codes for one amino acid.
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.
DNA, mRNA, and tRNA
If there are 12 nucleotides, the number of mRNA codons can be calculated by dividing the total number of nucleotides by 3, since each codon consists of 3 nucleotides. Therefore, with 12 nucleotides, there would be 12 / 3 = 4 codons.

RNA Polymerase is the enzyme responsible for adding RNA nucleotides to make mRNA.
The sugar found in DNA nucleotides is called deoxyribose. It is a five-carbon sugar that lacks one oxygen atom compared to ribose, the sugar found in RNA nucleotides. This structural difference is key to distinguishing between DNA and RNA.
Every codon is three nucleotide pairs, so you would have 25 codons.
The maximum length of a polypeptide encoded by an mRNA is determined by the number of nucleotides in the mRNA sequence. Each amino acid is encoded by a set of three nucleotides called a codon. With a 45-nucleotide mRNA sequence, the maximum length of the polypeptide would be 45/3 = 15 amino acids.
The number of nucleotides in an mRNA is directly related to the number of amino acids in the resulting protein. Since each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of 3 nucleotides (codon), the number of amino acids is determined by dividing the total number of nucleotides (336) by 3. Therefore, a mRNA of 336 nucleotides will translate to a protein with 112 amino acids.
