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 progression of a growth plate cartilage chondrocyte over time from after its fate commitment to the mature cell. 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 whereby a chondroblast acquires specialized structural and/or functional features of a chondrocyte. A chondrocyte is a polymorphic cell that forms cartilage. The process whereby a chondroblast acquires specialized structural and/or functional features of a chondrocyte that will contribute to the development 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. The process by which the structures of a chondrocyte in the growth plate cartilage are generated and organized.
