Cluster of three nucleotides?

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.
