Based on the typical inheritance patterns of pea plant flower color established by Gregor Mendel, the conclusion that can be drawn from the students' experiment is:
**Purple flower color is dominant.**
In Mendelian genetics, purple flower color in pea plants is commonly known to be dominant over white flower color, meaning that if a plant has at least one allele for purple flowers, it will exhibit the purple phenotype.
