This meme is playing with genetics and wordplay in the most delightfully nerdy way! The SRY gene (Sex-determining Region Y) is a crucial gene found on the Y chromosome that triggers male development in mammals. So when you "step on your friend Gene's foot" and say "SRY gene," you're making a pun that works on multiple levels - apologizing with "sorry" (SRY) to your friend named Gene while simultaneously referencing the actual SRY gene that determines biological maleness. It's basically the perfect storm of biology humor that makes geneticists snort coffee through their noses during department meetings.
