Answer: (4) Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
Explanation-
- Statement I is false because in a protein, the left end is represented by the N-terminal (the first amino acid) and the right end is represented by the C-terminal (the last amino acid), not the other way around.
- Statement II is true because adult human hemoglobin consists of four subunits: two alpha (α) subunits and two beta (β) subunits.
