One can assume that due to the similarity of Romulans and Vulcans, a Vulcan could also have a partially Klingon child.

A Bajoran / Cardassian hybrid

A hybrid is the end result of mixing two different species in the biological process of reproduction.

Because of the common genetic ancestry of most of the races of the Milky Way Galaxy by way of the ancient humanoids, many species are able to interbreed with or without the help of genetic technology. In fact, Humans and Vulcans are quite similar. (TNG: "The Chase"; ENT: "Demons")

There can be unexpected consequences to interspecific relations and as such it was a researched topic. Starfleet Academy taught Interspecies Protocol and the Ktarian Doctor Mizan was an expert in interspecies mating rituals, known for his "empirical research". (TNG: "Timescape"; VOY: "The Disease") One should note that there can be certain difficulties involved in reproducing between even humanoid species for certain, anatomical reasons. For instance, not all species keep their genitals in the same place. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

In some cultures children who are born as a result of interspecific relations are rejected by the society of both races. For example, Bajoran / Cardassian hybrids were often rejected by both Bajorans and Cardassians. (DS9: "Indiscretion", "Return to Grace")

Examples of interspecific reproduction

Betazoid

Cardassian

Seska also seemed to think Cardassian / Human cross breeding was possible, as she attempted to have Chakotay's child.

Human

It may be assumed that the Q could breed with any species because of their godlike abilities.

Klingon

Ocampa

Romulan

Talaxian

Trill

Vulcan

It may be assumed that a Vulcan and Romulan would be able to breed due to their common ancestry.
