Why is the texture flipped upside down in OpenGL?

How to mirrored repeat a texture in OpenGL?
GL_MIRRORED_REPEAT: The texture will also be repeated, but it will be mirrored when the integer part of the coordinate is odd. GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE: The coordinate will simply be clamped between 0 and 1. GL_CLAMP_TO_BORDER: The coordinates that fall outside the range will be given a specified border color.
What is the concept of mipmaps in OpenGL?
