Solution(By Examveda Team)

The first genetically modified potato developed at CPRI (Central Potato Research Institute) is named Protato. It was created to increase the protein content of potatoes and it contains nearly 60% more protein than a regular potato.
To make this hybrid, the genes from potato plants are crossed with the genes from grain amaranthus.
