ah! All thanks to the cell membrane!

The cell membrane contains phospholipids that are amphiphilic (polar - water attracting and non-polar - water repelling) in nature. That's why the cell membrane allows non-polar materials to pass through but not polar materials. (if you're learning junior science you really don't need to know this!) The polar materials require proteins found on the cell membrane called protein channels or carrier proteins to pass through. (their names are pretty self-explanatory!)      

All the best!

Nondisjunction results when chromosomes in gametes (egg and sperm cells) do not separate properly during meiosis (cell division of gametes in 2 stages), producing gametes which have more or less than the normal number (23) of chromosomes. 

Nondisjunction occurs during anaphase of either Meiosis I or Meiosis II.  Anaphase is the splitting and pulling of the chromosomes, lined up at the center of the cell, to the edges or poles of the cell. Shown in the figures below are examples of when nondisjunction occurs in Meiosis I (Anaphse I) and in Meiosis II (Anaphase II).
