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.

This is the DNA. I'm going to only use the upper strand to demonstrate what this strand would code for before and after a single bp deletion (so write it as mRNA). I will also write it how it's easier to see this which is to split them up into the 3 base codon system. Note that you don't need to know the amino acid code - you use a table to find these.

ORIGINAL (mRNA on top, Amino Acid (AA) on bottom:

5'-AGC GGG AUG AGC GCA UGU GGC GCA UAA CUG-3'
    SER  GLY  MET SER ALA  CYS GLY ALA  STOP LEU 

Note that the protein would stop being made at the stop codon and the LEU wouldn't matter at the end...

Now, I will remove one bp...(I bolded it up top). Rewrite the mRNA and find the corresponding AA...

NEW
5'-AGC GGG AUG GCG CAU GTG GCG CAU AAC UG-3'
   SER  GLY  MET  ALA  HIS   VAL  ALA   HIS  ASN .....

Completely different amino acid sequence after the methionine (MET). The stop codon is gone...the protein would continue being translated until it reaches another stop codon...so not what was supposed to be made!

1) Interphase is the longest phase and most of the cells are present in that very stage !!


2) Interphase is the longest phase and Anaphase is the shortest phase !! Interphase is the longest phase as in this phase the cells prepare themselves for dividing and it takes most of the time for gathering energy for division ; in this phase DNA also replicate !!


3)
Interphase: DNA replicates;

Prophase: Nuclear membrane starts disappearing and Centrioles go on opposite poles !! DNA condense to form Chromosome.

Metaphase: Chromosome attach to spindle fibre and starts to move to equitorial plate.

Anaphase: Centromere divide and half the chromatid goes on either pole

Telophase: Nuclear membrane starts to reassemble; Chrmosome goes to normal uncoiled state ; Other organelles starts appearing

Cytokinesis: Cell furrow forms and cell divides into two half.


4) In dividing cell nucleus membrane is absent while in non dividing cell the membrane is intact


5) Tip of the onion root is meristamatic cell which divides but if it is permanent cell ; there would be no division !!
