Morphology
biparentally = biparental (transparent) = bi + parent + al + ly
Clearly derived by adding '-ly' to 'biparental'; the adjective 'biparental' is itself transparently built from bi- + parent + -al.
Etymology
Biparentally combines bi- 'two' and parent 'mother or father', so it means 'by both parents'. It is used when both mother and father share the care of a child.
