What's the definition of 'pull down' here? I'm reading DEAR EVAN HANSEN, where one of its characters mutters a joke to his lab partner. "How do you tell the sex of chromosome? Pull down its genes." I wonder what's the definition of 'pull down' here. I don't see why it's funny. :(

The joke works because 'genes' and 'jeans' are homonyms. Pull down the 'jeans' and you can see whether it's a boy or a girl. Hope that helps.
