The multiplication or reproduction of chondrocytes in a growing endochondral bone, resulting in the expansion of a cell population. The process whereby a chondroblast acquires specialized structural and/or functional features of a chondrocyte that will contribute to the growth of a bone. A chondrocyte is a polymorphic cell that forms cartilage. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cartilage that will provide a scaffold for mineralization of endochondral bones as they elongate or grow. The increase in size or mass of an endochondral bone that contributes to the shaping of the bone. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cartilage over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cartilage is a connective tissue dominated by extracellular matrix containing collagen type II and large amounts of proteoglycan, particularly chondroitin sulfate. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cartilage that will provide a scaffold for mineralization of endochondral bones. The process by which bones are generated and organized as a result of the conversion of initial cartilaginous anlage into bone. The process by which the anatomical structures of cartilage are generated and organized. The increase in size or mass of an anatomical structure that contributes to the structure attaining its shape.
