We describe numerically the electronic properties in Bernal bilayer graphene in presence of a random distribution of vacant atoms that simulate resonant adsorbates. The values of fundamental quantities such as conductivity, elastic mean free path, localization length are computed. In a Bernal graphene bilayer, carbon atoms belong to two inequivalent sub-lattices A and B of each layer. Therefore, selective functionalizations on only a sub-lattice can significantly change its electronic properties [1]. In particular, we find that for some selective functionalizations, a mobility gap of the order of 0.5 eV is formed near the Dirac energy at concentration of adatoms larger than 1
