Yes if and when all of the necessary rules have been met by each taxpayer that is named on the 1040 income tax return. Not as a IRS dependent but as a dependent on the qualifying taxpayers income tax return that qualifies to claim the 19 as an dependent for the exemption amount on the 1040 income tax form.
For all of the rules go to the IRS gov website and use the search box for PUBLICATION 17 go to chapter 3. Personal Exemptions and Dependents

Both. A taxpayer (the person who can claim the dependent) claims exemptions for themselves and their dependents. Each exemption qualifies them for a deduction.

The deduction for exemptions reduces their taxable income.
