Single corn may contain 800-1000 kernels which may have different shape, texture, structure et cetera as result of independent assortment.

Example of kernel color is shown below.

Explanation:

A trait is expressed only when two alleles pair up. Thus, an allele pair during cell division assort independently into two individual alleles so that each gamete receive one of the two allele

For example  

During gamete formation XX and XY allele pairs divide to contribute one allele to each gamete respectively.

Thus, XX allele pair will divide to give X gene to both the gamete

And XY pair will divide to give X gene to one gamete and Y gene to other gamete
