how would you explain the inheritance of the skin colour in human beings or the colour of kernel in corn?

While I dont know the specifics of corn, human skin colour is a so called polygenic trait, which in short means it is controlled by several different genes and thus it does not follow mendelian inheritence. Wikipedia has some good summaries with more details and if you want to find out more you can start there http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_trait_locus
