Can two different species occupy the same niche at the same time? why or why not?

a. yes, but they would eventually evolve into one species.

b. no, they would compete for all necessary resources.

c. yes, as there are always some small differences.

d. no, as they will both go extinct.

The correct option is B ) No, they would compete for all necessary resources.

Explanation:

In ecology, a niche can be described as the role that an organism plays in a community or ecosystem. The niche of a species describes what food a particular organism eats, the place it lives, the place it reproduces and the relationship it has with other organisms of the community.

If two species belong to the same niche at a time, then they will fight for resources between them. As a result, one of the species will have to move from the place. One of the species might become get killed due to competition. Hence, two different species cannot belong to the same niche at a time.
