Answer:

The double membrane of the mitochondria is highly folded,and therefore wider when unfolded than that of the nucleus.This is an adaptive feature  to increase the surface area for reactions (electrochemical  gradient) by accommodating protons pumped into it by the proton motive force(PMF)  from the matrix to set up the electrochemical gradients needed to generate the energy needed by ATPase synthase enzymes for ATPs synthesis.

Required number of protons needed to be accommodated by the double membrane to generate enough energy for ATPase synthesis,therefore larger surface area is needed.

Why does each parent contribute only one allele to the offspring?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Because the gametes implemented in fertilisation are haploid in nature, in the case of humans, mature gametes contain 23 chromosomes instead of 46 which will then combine with another parents' 23 chromosomes during fertilisation, i.e: 23 (dad) + 23 (mom) = 46 (zygote)

Explanation:

A regular somatic cell has 46 chromosomes, 2n, 2 alleles but the gametes have 23 chromomes, n, 1 allele. The usual significance of this is so that there is diversity in the offspring and the offspring can gain characteristics (bad or good) from both parents.
