Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nuclear family consists of a married couple and their biological or adopted children, living as an independent unit. Extended families include relatives beyond the nuclear family, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Binuclear families involve the separate living arrangements of divorced or separated parents, with children dividing their time between two households. Blended families involve the merging of two separate families, often through remarriage, creating a new family unit with step-parents and step-siblings.
