What's the difference between genetic code, genetic material and genetic information?

Genetic code is a set of rules which lead to a translation of information kept in the sequence of DNA on to the sequence of proteins. Genetic code is based on the three-base long codons which code for different amino acids. Genetic material, on the other hand, is the DNA itself present in our cells. Finally, genetic information is all the information which is encoded in DNA of a particular cell or organism and which leads to a creation of appropriate biological structutes.
