A cluster of three nucleotides is called a 'codon' - However, the term is only really used to refer to refer to a 3 nucleotide sequence on an mRNA molecule. Codons provide a means by which charged tRNA molecules can specifically add amino acids to a growing polypeptide chain. tRNA molecules have the complementary 3 nucleotide sequence (anticodon) that allow the specific recognition.

What is three nucleotides on transfer RNA that are complementary to the three nucleotides on messenger RNA?
There are four nucleotides in tRNA that are complementary to the four nucleotides on mRNA. Both types of RNA contain the nucleotides adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. In both types of RNA adenine is complementary to uracil, and cytosine is complementary to guanine.
