The numbers reported correspond to the total count of repetitive residues found in the developmental genes of each species. Mosquito developmental genes contain numerous amino acid repeats, with serine repeats being most common. As discussed in the text, numerous repetitive sequences are a common structural feature of Drosophila and mosquito developmental genes.
