Explanation / Answer

There are four genes involved in determining kernel colour in these three stains. And interacts like this below-

Colourless precursors ---> enzyme A ( WW or WW) ----> colourless intermediate -----> enzyme B ( RR or Rr) ----> Red kernel

W ( red colour producing) allele is dominant to w ( white)

R ( red colour producing ) allele is dominant to r ( white)

White coloured plants (WWrr) x white coloured plants ( wwRR)

All Red coloured ( wWRr) .( In f1)

WwRr x WwRr (f1 self crossed)

WWRR( red)

WR Wr wR wr WR

WWRR( red)
