This is a term used to describe the effect of Adam's sin on his descendants (Rom. 5:12-23). Specifically, it is our inheritance of a sinful nature from Adam. The sinful nature originated with Adam and is passed down from parent to child. We are by nature children of wrath (Eph. 2:3).
It is my personal belief (opinion) that is is passed down by the male.
There doesn't appear to be a difference between the 2 terms to me.

That would be consistent with the need for the virgin birth !
