Determine highest percentage of nonpolar aminoacids

Hemoglobin is composed of four polypeptide chains (subunits) whereas myoglobin, which is structurally related to the subunits comprising hemoglobin and about the same size as one such subunit, contains only a single polypeptide chain. Which is likely to have the lower polar/nonpolar amino acid ratio, that is to have the highest percentage of nonpolar amino acids, a hemoglobin subunit or myglobin? Justify your answer.
