Mendel selected seven traits to analyze in his famous pea plant crosses, and all of these traits yielded expected 3:1 phenotypic F2 ratios in monohybrid crosses. He was fortunate in his selection of these traits.
 
  How so? What problem might he have encountered that may have yielded confusing ratios?

By chance, some of the traits he selected might not have been independently assorting, owing to linkage (presence on the same chromosome).
