∙ 9y agoThe 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.
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.
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.

tRNA
Free floating nucleotides are individual units of nucleic acids, such as DNA or RNA, that are not part of a larger nucleic acid chain. These nucleotides can serve as building blocks for synthesizing new DNA or RNA strands. They are also important for various cellular processes, such as protein synthesis and energy storage.
This description matches a microRNA (miRNA). MiRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that are about 18-25 nucleotides in length and often assume a looped structure. They play important roles in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression.

uracil is the major one. Inosine is found in tRNA as well
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.
The three nucleotides on transfer RNA that are complementary to the three nucleotides on messenger RNA are called the anticodon. The anticodon pairs with the codon on the mRNA during translation to ensure the correct amino acid is brought to the ribosome.
