    Solution

    The Competitive Exclusion Principle, also known as Gause’s Law, states that when two species compete for the same resources within the same ecological niche, one will outcompete and eliminate the other over time. This happens because one species will have a slight advantage in resource utilization, survival, or reproduction, leading to the exclusion of the other species.
