you have two traits (outer kernel color and endosperm color) if both parents are heterozygous for both traits, as stated in the question, the cross must be between AaEe * AaEe so make your punnet square based on that
kernel color (if purple) masks the color of the endosperm so this is epistasis not incomplete dominance
so would it be AE, Ae, ae, and aE
yes
for the top and left of the square
yes
check the second row and column again it has to be Ae not Aa
good now, since this is an epistatic trait the phenotype ratios are a bit different than usual any purple will mask the endosperm, so anything with AA or Aa will be purple regardless of what the E is then, aaEE and aaEe make yellow since yellow is the dominant trait that occurs in the absence of purple and aaee will be white calculate the percentages based off that
purple = 75% yellow= 18.75% white= 6.25%
good that's it
