Genes! I didn't know the answer either, but this question was a clue in my homework crossword puzzle so I guessed and it fit!! Yay!
The three nucleotides C, G, and U correspond to cytosine, guanine, and uracil, respectively. These nucleotides are components of RNA, where uracil replaces thymine found in DNA. In the context of genetic coding, these nucleotides can form codons, which are sequences that specify particular amino acids during protein synthesis.
mRNA copies the information.Process is called transcription.
The non-coding side of DNA, also known as the non-coding strand or the template strand, serves as a blueprint for producing RNA molecules during the process of transcription. Unlike the coding strand, which has the same sequence as the RNA product, the non-coding strand has a complementary sequence to the RNA molecule, with the nucleotides A, T, G, and C pairing respectively with U, A, C, and G in RNA.
However, in eukaryotes only, there are extra sequences in the DNA and mRNA that don't code for proteins called introns. This mRNA is then further processed:Introns get cut outThe coding sequences get spliced togetherA special nucleotide "cap" gets added to one endA long tail consisting of 100 to 200 adenine nucleotides is added to the other end
MicroRNA is a type of small non-coding RNA consisting of about 80 nucleotides that forms a looped secondary structure. It plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by binding to target messenger RNA molecules.

Before the RNA leaves the nucleus, the introns are removed and the exons are joined together, producing an mRNA molecule with a continuous coding sequence. This process is called RNA splicing.
DNA nucleotides 'code' for RNA copies of the DNA strand, but the true 'coding' of nucleotides happen in the ribosome where amino acids are matched to the RNA nucleotides. Nucleotides in DNA are only are present to store genetic data. When a particular gene needs to be used or a protein needs to be made, a RNA copy of the DNA will be made, using the slightly different RNA nucleotides (adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine). This copy then leaves the nucleus and travels to the ribosome, where the RNA nucleotides are used to assemble amino acids into proteins. Each amino acid matches up to a three-nucleotide sequence.

The coding region in DNA transcription is called the gene. It contains the specific sequence of nucleotides that encode for a protein or functional RNA molecule. During transcription, this coding region is transcribed into a complementary RNA sequence by RNA polymerase.
The intervening sequences of RNA molecules that are cut out before the messenger RNA leaves the nucleus are called introns. These introns are non-coding sequences that are spliced out of the pre-mRNA during the process of RNA splicing, leaving only the exons to form the mature mRNA that is then transported to the cytoplasm for translation.
The 3 coding letters in tRNA are called the anticodon. These are specific sequences of three nucleotides that complement the corresponding codon on mRNA during protein synthesis. The anticodon ensures that the correct amino acid is incorporated into the growing polypeptide chain.

For coding
During DNA replication, the template strand is used as a guide to create a complementary copy, while the coding strand is not directly involved in the copying process. The template strand determines the sequence of nucleotides in the new DNA strand, while the coding strand has the same sequence as the RNA transcript that will be produced from the new DNA strand.
