Does Endochondral ossification occurs when chondrocytes replace osteoblasts in the matrix.?
No, you have it backwards. "Chondro" is the prefix for cartilage while "osteo" is the prefix for bone. Endochondral ossificiation is when the cartilage is replaced by bone, so you would have osteocytes moving into the matrix and replacing the chondrocytes.
