Refers to the words that are contained between the two parentheses.

Punctuation typically comes after a parenthesis if the entire sentence is enclosed within the parentheses. However, if the parenthesis is part of a larger sentence, the punctuation should be placed outside the closing parenthesis. For example: "He went to the store (which was closed)." Here, the period comes after the parentheses.
Use a period inside of the closing parenthesis to indicate that the sentence within the parentheses is ending. Use a period outside of the closing parenthesis to indicate that the sentence in which the parenthetical occurs is ending. Example: This was published in 1968 (Mary Jenkins looked it up.). or This was published in 1968. (Mary Jenkins looked it up.)
Parentheses go before the period in a sentence. If the entire sentence is contained within the parentheses, then the period goes inside. However, if the parentheses are used to add information or clarification within a larger sentence, the period should be placed outside the closing parenthesis.
Parenthesis is singular. Parentheses is plural

There might be a situation in which you would use a comma before a parenthesis, but generally you do not do this. A pair of parentheses already sets its contents apart from the rest of a sentence, so there is no need for a comma to precede the left parenthesis.
