biparental
Involving both parents
Biparental describes care, inheritance, or behavior involving both parents.
In biology, biparental care means both mother and father participate in raising offspring: Biparental care is common in birds but rare in mammals.
Biparental inheritance refers to genetic material passed from both parents, as opposed to traits inherited from only one.
