Support your explanation with evidence from your modeland scientific reasoning about how the offspring spinach plants inherit their genes.X D 眉2 √BIUS X₂ x² Use the information below to answer questions 3 through 5.Spinach plants are dioecious (/di'ēSHəs/), meaning that there are both male and female spinach plants. While the female plants are the only type to produce seeds, both plants flower.
