What is a Connection between the innateness hypothesis and the idea of a universal Grammar?

Universal grammar is a topic that has been researched in linguistics since the mid-20th century. The basic, fundamental structure of all human languages is very similar, in spite of the obvious differences in vocabulary and sound. This basic structure is called Universal Grammar.
The innateness hypothesis is the idea that this Universal Grammar is present in all healthy human minds as a result of biological inheritance (in other words, grammar is innate).

What are all the universal grammar principles and parameters?
Grammar is specific for a language with its specific principles in syntactic structures to formulate a grammatical principle.Universal grammar does not exist unless one formulates universal artificial language with universal syntactic principles. The parameters of grammar are the agreement between the NP & VP along with the tense which again differs from one language to another. eg: certain Indo- Burma languages do not have finite verb.
What is correct a hypothesis or an hypothesis?
A hypothesis is correct grammar here's why:A hypothesis is correct because 'h' is not a vowel. for example in the fragment: a cat, c is not a vowel so 'a' applies. If on the other hand it says 'an' animal, 'an' is correct because the a in animal is a vowel.
Who is the researcher that developed the nativist approach and universal grammar to explain how children learn their language skills?
chomsky
What is mean the grammar?
the study of the forms of words and their arrangements in sentences
What is the universal grammar theory?
a theory in linguistics that suggests that there are properties that all possible natural human languages have. Usually credited to Noam Chomsky, the theory suggests that some rules of grammar are hard-wired into the brain, and manifest without being taught.
What is the connection between the innateness hypothesis and the idea of a universal grammar?
the connect between innateness hypothesis and universal grammar is to speak we need innate hypothesis and this hypothesis not enough to speak well so we need something else which called universal grammar

What are the assumptions in innateness hyphotesis?
The innateness hypothesis assumes that certain aspects of language acquisition are guided by innate, universal principles or structures. It posits that humans are born with a biological predisposition for language learning, including the ability to detect and process linguistic patterns. This hypothesis suggests that there are genetic factors that influence the ease and speed of language acquisition in children.
What does it mean to say that if a hypothesis is scientific then there must be a means to prove it wrong?

What evidence has led some researchers to assume that Universal Grammar plays a crucial role in SLA?
Evidence such as the consistent sequence of grammatical acquisition across different languages by learners, linguistic universals found in all human languages, and the ease with which children acquire complex grammar structures suggest that Universal Grammar may play a crucial role in second language acquisition. Additionally, similarities in errors made by second language learners across different first language backgrounds also support the idea that some fundamental principles of Universal Grammar influence language learning.
