Does diorite turn into granite?

How would you distinguish among granite gabbro and diorite?
Gabbros is formed of course grained ferromagnesian minerals and gray plagioclase feldspar it can be identified on the basis of cleavage and with practice verifies that no quartz is present. Diorite is composed of feldspar and significant amounts of ferromagnesian minerals. The mineral can be identified and their percentages estimated to indicate diorite. Granite is a coarse grained (the grains are larger than 1 millimeter) rock composed of predominantly of feldspar and quartz, is an intrusive rock.
