Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, cerebellum.

Explanation:

Alcohol acts as a CNS depressant. When more amount of alcohol is taken and the levels of alcohol rise within the body, some sections of the brain get influenced and a reduction in the functioning is witnessed in that particular part.  

The region of the brain accountable for coordinating movement and also some kinds of learning seems to be sensitive specifically to the consumption of alcohol. Thus, cerebellum is the part of the brain, which gets most affected due to the consumption of alcohol. Therefore, test is performed to witness the balance of an individual, as cerebellum is the part of the brain responsible for appropriate posture and balance.

What two types of amino acid sequences are needed in a protein to mediate post-translational farnesylation?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Post translation farnesylation may be defined as a type of prenylation in which the isoprenyl group is added to the cysteine residues of the protein. This modification is important for protein and membrane interaction.

Basically two types of amino acid are required for the farsenylation modification. The signal peptide sequence is the short amino acid sequence that targets the ribosome in the endoplasmic reticulum. The sequence is generally lysine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and leucine. The second sequence must be Caax (C is cysteine, a is aliphatic amino acid and X consists of C terminal amino acid.
