Deliquescence refers to the characteristic of exhibiting a water vapor pressure lesser than the surrounding air. This signifies that a deliquescent is used to absorb water. The calcium chloride is utilized as a desiccant as it is hygroscopic in nature and easily absorbs moisture from the surrounding areas and keeps the system dry.  

CaCl2 + 2 H2O →Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl

6. Why does meiosis increase genetic variation in the offspring, but mitosis does not? (1 point)
brilliants [131]
Meiosis involves crossing over where chromosomes exchange genetic segments, resulting in different sets of chromosomes. Each time an egg or sperm created, it is different due to this recombination. Mitosis on the other hand is non-sex cells replicating exact copies of themselves which lead to no genetic variation as they aren't involved in producing offspring.
