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.
