I've been studying way too much today and my brain has just stopped working.

5. Co-dependency situation? |

DNA enables a lot of bonding. Course, it could also be a sort of split-personality--a to be or not to be Shakespeare kind of thing. For rational answer to the question "why?", check study guide/syllabus, for clues.
