Background Research Conclusion:
The background research for this experiment gives a better understanding of the concept of natural selection, which is a key focus in the experiment conducted. Natural Selection is a mechanism of evolution that has been influenced by politics, social factors and technology, contributing factors to both the structure and perception of natural selection.
Hypothesis:
That the red frogs will be the most popular lolly in the experiment. Materials:

Glue, using PVA glue and paintbrush, one of each of the five types of lollies horizontally across a piece of A4 cardboard
2. Type out a label for each type of lolly, however, do not name the lolly. Instead label each lolly, for example ‘Type #1’, numbering up to five
3. Wash paintbrush under running water to remove any traces of the PVA glue
4. Once the glue dries, apply a layer of lacquer, using paintbrush, to each lolly, to preserve the lollies
5. Apply a second layer of lacquer once the first layer has dried
6. Ask subject which type of lolly they would choose, based on the looks of the lolly, and the subject’s prior knowledge of the palatability of the lolly

The human eye perceives the colour red in foods to represent ripeness, which in nature, is the aspect that is looked for when foraging for food, as it means the food is edible and ripe. However, the Chico lolly, which is dark brown in colour, had the second highest results. This is surprising, as colours that are darker, like brown or black, are usually perceived by the human eye as foods that are off or dead. However, many of the subjects may have been familiar and are fond of the taste of Chicos, therefore chose this has their lolly of choice. However, if the lollies could have been tasted, the outcome may have been more
