**Genetic Linkage and Gene Mapping in Drosophila**

The recessive alleles k (kidney-shaped eyes), c (cardinal-colored eyes), and e (ebony body) identify three genes on chromosome 3 of Drosophila. Females with kidney-shaped eyes and ebony body color were mated with cardinal-colored eyed males. The resulting F1 progeny were completely wild type. When F1 females were testcrossed with the kk cc ee males, the following progeny phenotypes were obtained:

| Phenotype  | Number |
|------------|--------|
| k + +      | 53     |
| k + e      | 876    |
| k c +      | 48     |
| k c e      | 8      |
| + + +      | 6      |
| + + e      | 63     |
| + c +      | 899    |
| + c e      | 49     |

1. **Using the terms cis and trans (which are also known as coupled and repulsion, respectively) describe the allelic configuration of the heterozygous F1 individual.**

2. **Determine the gene order and the map distances between the genes.**

Please note the above table summarizes the observed phenotypes of the testcross progeny and their respective counts. 

For gene mapping and determining distances:

- Identify the parental and recombinant phenotypes.
- Calculate recombinant frequencies to determine the distance between the genes.

**Example process for gene mapping:**
- Identify least frequent classes as double crossover events.
- Use these to determine gene order.
- Calculate the recombination frequencies for the regions between the genes using single crossover frequencies.
