Abstract
The established ideas about the genetic code are considered, taking into account the achievements of scientists of the previous period. The shortcomings and contradictions of these ideas are noted, which are mainly related to the assumption of the three-dimensionality of biomolecules and the linearity of nucleic acids. Since in recent years it has been clearly shown that these assumptions are far from reality, a new concept of the genetic code has been put forward, considering the higher dimension of sugar molecules, phosphoric acid residues and nucleic acids. It is shown that nitrogenous bases are located in two-dimensional coordinate planes of the polytope of hereditary information, and the number of these coordinate planes is exactly equal to the number of possible types of amino acids, i.e., each coordinate plane corresponds to some amino acid.
