Question

the process in which mineral matter replaces previously formed cartilage is called ______.
options: fracture, ossification, calcification, diarthrosis (with radio buttons)

Explanation:

• Fracture is a break in bone, not cartilage replacement.
• Ossification is bone formation, often replacing cartilage (endochondral ossification).
• Calcification is mineral deposition but not specific to cartilage-to-bone.
• Diarthrosis is a joint type. So ossification fits the process of mineral matter replacing cartilage.

Answer:

B. ossification
