It is a codon.
The word was coined in 1962 by Sydney Brenner for a group of three nucleotides (or their bases) in DNA that code for one amino acid. Since then the word has also been extended to apply to messenger RNA.
Each set of three nitrogen bases that codes for an amino acid is known as a codon.
From nucleic acids to amino acids. Transcription copies the nucleotide sequence of DNA into RNA; in translation ribosomes recreate the messenger-RNA pattern into a copy of the sequence.
Converting messenger RNA, mRNA into a sequence of amino acids that make up protein is called translation.
Transcription occurs when messenger RNA, noted as mRNA, reads the RNA . This mRNA is present in the nucleotide sequence while synthesizing protein.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) serves as the primary transcript, and its nucleotide sequence determines the amino acid sequence of proteins. A codon in mRNA comprises of three nucleotides that encode a specific amino acid. For example, the codon for glutamine is CAG (Cytosine, Adenine and Guanine). The most common stop and start codon is TAA and AUG respectively.
The genetic code refers to the nucleotide triplets of DNA and RNA molecules that carry genetic information. It specifies the correlation between an RNA-nucleotide sequence, as well as an amino-acid sequence.

the three nucleotides on a mRNA that codes for a amino acid is called a codon
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA, and this is determined by the sequence of nucleotide bases in the DNA.
Converting messenger RNA, mRNA into a sequence of amino acids that make up protein is called translation.
Transcription occurs when messenger RNA, noted as mRNA, reads the RNA . This mRNA is present in the nucleotide sequence while synthesizing protein.
During protein synthesis, the nucleotide sequence specifies a particular species of amino acid. This is accomplished through the genetic code, where a sequence of three nucleotides (codon) corresponds to a specific amino acid. The sequence of codons ultimately determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein.

Proteins. The sequence of nucleotide bases in DNA codes for the sequence of amino acids in proteins, which ultimately determines their structure and function. This process is known as protein synthesis.

A 15-nucleotide sequence will form a peptide chain consisting of 5 amino acids, as each amino acid is coded for by a codon made up of 3 nucleotides.
