Which Stage of Meiosis I is called Bouquet Stage?
Leptotene is the first stage of Prophase I of meiosis I. It is called Bouquet Stage because of the following reasons:
During Leptotene, chromatin condenses to form chromosomes
Each chromosome has two chromatids and they are not distinct
The telomeric ends of chromosomes converge towards one side of the nuclear membrane giving an appearance of a horse-shoe shaped structure.

Me and my group of friends really needed this information as we had to do a project related to Meiosis. I am sure all of them are going to be happy once I let them know I found this.
