In coding DNA, that of genes, three nucleotide 'codons' signal for one amino acid. Many amino acids are signaled for by more than one codon. Another answer might be that eukaryotic genes, like yours and mine, is composed of coding 'exons' and non-coding 'introns'. The rest of the DNA is not expressed but may contain signal sequences for recruiting transcription enzymes and chromatin (DNA-associated proteins).
