Solution

The genetic code is non-overlapping or non-ambiguous. Each nucleotide is a part of only one codon and is read only once during translation.
The genetic code is almost universal. In nearly all organisms, most codons code for the same amino acid. This avoids confusion in reading the codes and determining the amino acid.
