Is it possible that substance X arrests cells
in additional points that are
not observed in this experiment?
This is unlikely. Since the experiment was performed on a
non
synchronized culture and lasted the duration of a full cell cycle of
these cells, all cells could reach the arrest point/s.
This possibility is more likely in experiments using
synchronized cultures, where the arrest point that is closer to the synchronization
point will be observed, provided the arrest effect is strong enough.
