Sidney Brenner argued that the code was nonoverlapping because he considered that coding restrictions would occur if it were overlapping. A second major argument against an overlapping code involved the effect of a single nucleotide change. In an

overlapping code, how many adjacent amino acids would be affected by a single nucleotide change? In a nonoverlapping code, how many amino acid(s) would be affected? What will be an ideal response?
