Answer and Explanation:

HIV is a sexually transmitted disease that is caused by AIDS, a virus. Malaria is a protozoan disease that is cause by <em>plasmodium spp</em>. Both the virus and sporozoites of plasmodium live inside humans. However, in malaria, the sporozoites are inactive form of the parasite and they live in the human liver. The human being acts as an intermediate host for the life cycle to be complete.

In HIV, the virus incorporates its DNA into the host(human) genome and uses the resources to produce proteins that are found in the blood. Using a condom helps limit the transmission of HIV because the virus lives in the blood cells but does not affect the transmission of malaria because the sporozoites live in the liver and other organs. HIV can be transmitted sexually, transfusion with contaminated blood, sharing of infected needles and syringes while malaria is only transmitted through a mosquito bite.

Explain why evolution is a unifying theme

Setler [38]

Unify means to make or become united uniform, or whole.

(I personally don't agree that evolution is true; but here is my answer)

Evolution is a way Scientists like to theorize the world was made/ created. They try to explain why everything can about in a uniform way. Everything has a reason or theory. Even though scientists haven't been able to prove that Evolution actually exists, many people like the idea of it- just for the reason that it gives a more believable whole approach to how the Earth and Universe came about. For some people, it is more uniform than a religion.
