Answer to Question 1

A lineage is a unilineal descent group whose members can actually trace how they are related; in matrilineal descent, the primary kinship relationship is traced through the mother, while in patrilineal it is traced through the father.

Answer to Question 2

This is a kinship system in which individuals trace their primary kinship relationships through their fathers.
