Just out of curiosity, if Uhura and Spock were to mate and have offspring. What would they look like? Who's genes are more dominated? Would they have the ears and eyebrows? Would they be brownish in skin tone? Are Vulcan genes more dominate than Humans? Just thought I'd ask these questions. I'm more willing to accept this than Vulcan being destroyed.

Well, keep in mind that Spock is half-human. So obviously Vulcan genes are dominant. The child would have pointed ears. Actually, it seems that human genes are usually the recessive ones. Klingon genes are dominant over human (as we've seen from B'Elanna Torres). And Naomi Wildman's mother was human and her father Ktarian, yet Naomi still had the Ktarian horns. So Ktarian genes are dominant over human.

Do you remember Simon Tarses' ears in TNG? He was quarter Romulan. I reckon they'd be like that.
Also, perhaps humans genes are not so recessive but more the fact that humans have no distinctive traits such as ridges, pointed ears & eyebrows, horns, spots...

I don't think so. They had fingers. They were just puzzled at how many he had and much longer his were than theirs.
But any mating between alien species is going to require a certain amount of bio-engineering anyway, so I'd say all bets were off.

Some CAN mate naturally but Vulcan/Human partnerships are among those who are unable to do it without medical intervention because Vulcans have a copper-based blood and humans have iron-based blood and never the twain shall mix naturally!

Exactly so. This is the Memory Alpha page for Malcorians... memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Malcorian ... The picture shows their hands with separate digits, webbed together, but the text claims that they don't have separate digits. I really don't see how they could build things without digits. The people examining Riker seemed surprised that he had "digits on his terminus" -- toes in other words, but why would they have a word for "digits" if they didn't have them?
