The distributions of the number of consecutive arrests reflect distinct regimes for non-terminal and terminal arrests. A Distribution of the number of consecutive non-terminal arrests for D = 180 min (grey bars) and fit with a geometric distribution (dark blue) with the 2.5% and 97.5% quantile shown in light blue. B p-values of χ² goodness-of-fit tests for the number of consecutive non-terminal arrests following a geometric distribution, as a function of D. The hypothesis is not rejected for D between 140 and 330 min. C, D same as A, B for all terminal senescence arrests. The hypothesis is not rejected for values of D between 200 and 350 min. (E) Duration of the long cell cycles in a sequence of consecutive non-terminal or senescence arrests, separated into the last cell cycle in the sequence (“Last”) and the preceding ones (“Preceding”). * indicates p-value < 0.05 and “n.s.” non-significant for a Mann-Whitney U test, n ≥ 108 for each condition
