Translated summary: We analyze a well-known assumption about the arbitrariness of `selection' of a genetic code, based on the study of genetic overlappings in a DNA chain. We introduce a complete set of binary overlappings. Based on it, we can construct the theoretically possible complete set of overlappings of genes of any length. We establish properties for sequences of any length with arbitrary combination of amino acids. We show that the structure of a genetic code is not arbitrary. Moreover, based on this analysis, we can state that the possibility of `solving' the problem of overlapping sets of genes is settled (implicitly) in the structure of a universal genetic code. Thus, we establish another previously unknown property of the structure of genetic codes. We also show that this property can be one of the most important factors in the `selection' of the final structure of a universal genetic code.
