Two different species can not live for long duration in the same niche or habitat. This law is : -

  1. Dollo's rule
  2. Weismann's theory
  3. Allen's law
  4. Gause's hypothesis

Answer

(4) Gause's hypothesis

Solution

The statement says that two species with the same requirements cannot co-exist indefinitely in the same niche.

As per NCERT, Gause's 'Competitive Exclusion Principle' states that two closely related species competing for the same resources cannot co-exist indefinitely and the competitively inferior one will be eliminated eventually.

⇒ This law, put forward by G. F. Gause from his experiments on Paramecium, is known as Gause's hypothesis.

∵ Dollo's rule states that evolution is irreversible, Weismann's theory is the germ-plasm theory and Allen's law relates body extremities to climate.
