If Mendel had used traits that were not controlled by a single gene, or if he had not carefully recorded and analyzed his data, he may not have been able to identify the patterns of inheritance that led to his discoveries in genetics. Additionally, if he had experienced too much variability in his experimental conditions or if he had chosen traits with incomplete dominance or codominance, it may have been challenging to observe the expected Mendelian ratios.
If seed shape did not have a clearly recessive form
if seed color and shape were located on the same chromosome
Not using a large enough sample size could stop Mendel from finding a pattern in his results. Also, if he failed to control for variables that could influence the outcome, this might also hinder his ability to identify a pattern. Additionally, if his data was inaccurate or if there were errors in recording the results, this could prevent a clear pattern from emerging.

if the f14 pea plants had traits of neither parent Mendel might not have concluded that factors for traits are passed from one generation to the next
