This question refers to animal (including human) growth and maturity. Cartilage tissue in certain areas changes into bone which forms the final and adult structure of the organism. In humans the terminal phase of these changes are in the late teens to early twenties at the latest.
No dear friend. That never happens..... Both are entirely different in composition, for example, cartilages contain a lot of collagen while bones have huge calcium deposits

What is the term for the process of cartilage turning into bone?
Endochondral Ossification meaning "formed in cartilage.
What is the process of cartilage turning into hard bones?
Ossification
What is the cartilage articulates with another bone or bone process called?
It is just called an articular cartilage. The type of cartilage is fibrocartilage.
Why are babies mostly cartilage?
Babies are not mostly cartilage, fetuses are. The reason why they are is because they undergo a process known as endochondral ossification. Basically, the fetus creates an outline of what the skeleton should look like with a hyaline cartilage model. Then this cartilage is replaced with the bone cells which create a bone matrix.
The articular cartilage of a typical long bone is composed of what type of cartilage?
Thearticular cartilage of a typical long bone is composed of the Hyaline cartilage.

Turn into bone?

What is the Process of ossification?
the formation of bone from pre-existing hyaline cartilage models
Why do you think the amount of cartilage decreases and the amount of bone increases as a person develops?
The decrease in cartilage and increase in bone during development is due to the process of ossification, where cartilage is gradually replaced by bone tissue. This process is essential for bone formation and growth, as bones need to be strong and rigid to provide support and protection to the body. Additionally, the increase in bone also helps with mineral storage and blood cell production.
What is present in bone either bone or cartilage?
Bone starts out as cartilage and as it matures it becomes bone...
In early development bone tissue is made mostly of?
In early development, bone tissue is made mostly of a type of connective tissue called cartilage. This cartilage serves as a precursor to bone formation and provides structural support during bone development. Over time, the cartilage is gradually replaced by mineralized bone tissue through a process known as endochondral ossification.
