Given below are two statements:
Statement I: A protein is imagined as a line, the left end represented by first amino acid ( C - terminal) and the right end represented by last amino acid (N-terminal)
Statement II: Adult human haemoglobin, consists of 4 subunits (two subunits of type and two subunits of
type.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
Option 4) Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
Statement I is incorrect because in the conventional representation of a protein, the N-terminal (amino-terminus) is depicted on the left end and the C-terminal (carboxy-terminus) is depicted on the right end.
Statement II is true. Adult human hemoglobin is indeed composed of four subunits, two of which are α subunits and two of which are β subunits.
