A gram is a measure of mass. A millilitre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
If you are not convinced, consider 237 ml of air. How many grams? Next consider 237 ml of lead. How many grams?
Some people still believe that there is a conversion in relation to pure water but that is only approximately true. Until 1964 (more than 50 year ago!) a litre was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at 4 degrees Celsius and at a pressure of 760 millilitres of Mercury. With that definition a conversion would have been valid - but only for pure water and only under those conditions. In any case that definition of a litre was abandoned in favour of 1 litre =1000 cubic centimetres. So the density of pure water, at 4 deg C and 760 ml of mercury is not 1000 kg/metre3 but 999.9720 kg/metre3.

Does not convert; milligrams (mg) and grams are measures of weight or mass and mL (milliliters) is a measure of volume.
This cannot be sensibly answered. A milliliter (mL or ml) is a measure of volume, grams (g), kilograms (kg) and milligrams (mg) are measures of weight or mass.
The conversion of grams to milliliters depends on the density of the substance. For water, which has a density of 1 g/ml, 450 grams would equal 450 ml. However, for other substances with different densities, you would need to know the specific density to make the conversion accurately.
