Why do galaxies expand primarily on one plane as oppposed to all planes ie a plate instead of a sphere?

Because galaxies don't expand. The universe expands. Think of galaxies as little spots on a balloon. When you blow it up the surface gets larger not the little spots, but the spots do get further apart. Gravity creates the extreme flatness that you observe. Moments after the big bang the initial structure of the universe was set, that applies to the size of the galaxies as well. The only observable difference is the galaxies were a lot closer to each other in the beginning. Gravity then took over and started effecting the closest galaxies by pulling them closer together. The galaxies face a battle between the expanding universe and the gravity of other galaxies.

Does Every Galaxy Merge Eventually?
The answer to this is we do not know but it looks unlikely.The expansion of the universe appears to be speeding up. Local Galaxies might merge into larger galaxies but these galaxies will expand faster and faster away from each other.

How is the Big Bang theory supported by the observed Doppler shift of galaxies?
Doppler shift shows that galaxies are moving away from each other at rates that depend on how far apart they are. According to the Big Bang Theory, the universe began with an enormous explosion. Then, the entire universe began to expand everywhere at the same time.The doppler shift shows that galaxies are moving away from each other at rates that depend on how far apart they are.
Is biosphere the largest level of organization?
What whould happend if uneverse expand faster than speed of light?
the far away galaxies may be moving faster than the speed of light already. In general relativity theory, expansion of space is not limited to the speed of light as it is in special relativity
How can the proposed expansion of space itself account for distance or velocity of galaxies wouldn't space expand in every dimension leaving proportions the same?
yes, but they don't know that space actually expands though it probably does.
