maybe he was lucky and he did so without knowing the reason but today we know the pea plant is 2n=14. so it has 7 pairs of chromosomes. if mendel had studied 8 traits for example, then at least 2 of them would've been on the same chromosome and he couldn't have used its mathematical laws of independence because then at least 2 chromosomes were linked.

Mendel conducted his most memorable experiments on?
Mendel became famous for his study of the pea plant. Gregor Mendel's study of this plant led to significant contributions in the field of genetics and heredity. He is called the" father of modern genetics." Mendel was born in 1822 and died in 1884.
Why did Mendel choose the garden pea plant as his experimental organism?
He studied plants and was a gardener.
What kind of plants did Gregor Johann Mendel work with and why?
Gregor Mendel used pea plants in his experiments to study heredity
Describe how Mendel cross pollinated pea plants?
Pea plants are autogamous by nature and can produce seeds by self-pollination. For hybridization Mendel emasculated the mother plant flower and pollinated it with father plant's anthers at the time of viable pollen grain and receptive stigma. the resulting seeds were hybrid having genetic information from both parents. Plants raised from hybrid seeds on selfing formed seeds of F2 generation. The seeds of F2 generation on germination showed segregation of parental characters.
