It is active against a wide variety of bacteria, acting by disrupting synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Peptide Two or more amino acids joined by a bond called a “peptide bond.” A compound containing amino acids. Peptide bond A chemical bond joining amino acids together in a polypeptide.
Peptidyl (P) site The ribosome site that contains the tRNA to which the growing polypeptide is attached. Peptidyl transferase An enzyme (built into the large ribosomal subunit) that catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during translation. 2. An enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of the bond between tRNA and the amino acid to a new bond between amino acids. Pericentric inversion An inversion of a chromosome that includes the centromere (see inversion). Individuals who carry an inversion are at increased risk for to have a duplication or deletion of the genetic material occur which would lead to an abnormal individual.
Peripatric speciation A synonym of peripheral isolate speciation. Pharmacogenomics The study of the interaction of an individual’s genetic makeup and response to a drug. Phenetic classification A method of classification in which species are grouped together with other species that they most closely resemble phenotypically.	Your Ad Here
Peripheral isolate speciation A form of allopatric speciation in which the new species is formed from a small population isolated at the edge of the ancestral population’s geographic range. Also called Peripatric speciation. Pesticide-resistant insects Insects with the ability to survive and reproduce in the presence of pesticides. These resistant variants increase in frequency over time if pesticides remain present in their environment. Phenetic species concept A concept of species according to which a species is a set of organisms that are phenotypically similar to one another. Compare with biological species concept, cladistic species concept, ecological species concept, and recognition species concept.

Phage A virus for which the natural host is a bacterial cell. Phenocopy A trait not caused by inheritance of a gene but appears to be identical to a genetic trait.
