A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of bone over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Bone is the hard skeletal connective tissue consisting of both mineral and cellular components. The formation of bone by the replacement of cartilage tissue with mineralized bone. The formation of bone or of a bony substance, or the conversion of fibrous tissue or of cartilage into bone or a bony substance. The process by which bones are generated and organized.
