Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) of the kinetochore carrying segment, KS.
The mechanism of SCE discussed in previous papers (3, 4) is adapted to account for the absence of kinks on chromatids experiencing an exchange limited to their KSs. The paper ends with a brief digression on kinks. Equivalent to solitons, such dynamic malformations can function as carriers of information along the chromatid stack.
