How many nucleotides make an amino acid?

3 are needed. As there are 20 amino acids used in proteins, each amino acid would have to be encoded by a minimum of three nucleotides. For example, a code of two consecutive nucleotides could specify a maximum of 16 (42) different amino acids, excluding stop and start signals. A code of three consecutive nucleotides has 64(43) different members and thus can easily accommodate the 20 amino acids plus a signal to stop protein synthesis.
