Nucleotides are bunched into groups of three that are then read by a ribosome.

Explanation:

When DNA nucleotides are transposed into mRNA these groups of 3s are known as codons. There are 64 possible combinations, and each corresponds to a specific amino acid. Each amino acid usually has several different combinations that correspond to it, making the 64 possible combinations of codons make the 20 proteinogenic amino acids.
