You are studying an extremely large population of unicorns found on a remote island. You observe variation in both the amount of sparkles each unicorn has on their coats, as well as the length of their tails. You found that unicorns with more sparkly coats have greater success at finding mates and reproducing, but that the length of their tail does not seem to affect survival or reproduction. After some intense work in your lab, you determine that gene Glitter Enhancing Protein-7 (Gep7) is responsible for the amount of sparkles, while gene Unicorn Fibroblast Growth Protein (Ufgp) is responsible for tail length.

Of these two genes (Gep7 and Ufgp), which one is more likely to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and why? You must address why the one gene is more likely to be in HWE and why the other gene is less likely to be in HWE. Given that the population is extremely large and that the island is remote, you can rule out any impacts of genetic drift and gene flow
