==Abstract==

Continuous periodogram power spectral analyses of <em>fractal</em> fluctuations of frequency distributions of bases A, C, G, T in Drosophila DNA show that the power spectra follow the universal inverse power-law form of the statistical normal distribution. Inverse power-law form for power spectra of space-time fluctuations is generic to dynamical systems in nature and is identified as <em>self-organized criticality</em>. The author has developed a general systems theory, which provides universal quantification for observed <em>self-organized criticality</em> in terms of the statistical normal distribution. The long-range correlations intrinsic to <em>self-organized criticality</em> in macro-scale dynamical systems are a signature of quantumlike chaos. The <em>fractal</em> fluctuations self-organize to form an overall logarithmic spiral trajectory with the quasiperiodic <em>Penrose</em> tiling pattern for the internal structure. Power spectral analysis resolves such a spiral trajectory as an eddy continuum with embedded dominant wavebands. The dominant peak periodicities are functions of the <em>golden mean</em>. The observed <em>fractal</em> frequency distributions of the Drosophila DNA base sequences exhibit quasicrystalline structure with long-range spatial correlations or <em>self-organized criticality</em>. Modification of the DNA base sequence structure at any location may have significant noticeable effects on the function of the DNA molecule as a whole. The presence of non-coding <em>introns</em> may not be redundant, but serve to organize the effective functioning of the coding <em>exons</em> in the DNA molecule as a complete unit.
