How do nucleotides provide nucleic acids with specific codes?

Answer:
Nucleotides are merely the building blocks of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. The specific order of these nucleotides are read in triplet form (AAC, ATA, etc.) as codons (which code for amino acids), and the combinations of these codons make up genes (which code for proteins).
