Genetics 101 by science writer Beth Skwarecki is an illustrated popular-science primer in the Adams 101 series. Published in 2018, it introduces the biological foundations of heredity while connecting them to questions readers encounter in medicine, consumer DNA testing, agriculture, ancestry, and biotechnology. The book is designed for lay readers rather than for students seeking a comprehensive technical textbook. Its reported approach begins with basic chemistry and cell biology, then explains DNA structure and function, gene expression, chromosomes, and inheritance before turning to contemporary applications and controversies. This sequence matters because public discussions of genes often assume knowledge of mechanisms that is rarely made explicit. Skwarecki uses familiar real-world contexts to clarify why genetic information can be informative without being a complete prediction of health, identity, or destiny. The result is a broad introduction that treats genetics as both a molecular science and a field with practical, social, and ethical consequences.
