Biology is a broad topic. There are certain givens within all studies of biology. The cell is the basic unit of life, genes are the base of heredity and evolution propels the creation of new species. Evolution is considered the unifying theory of biology.
Scientists are still looking for such a theory. It is possible that string theory is such a "theory of everything", but this isn't certain yet.

I have a theory about how a scientific method works.
One central driving unifying conflict.
a unifying idea or an undercurrent of meaning that moves through a form of expression.

ahm it is unifying
The theory of evolution is relevant to every aspect of the science of biology. It shows relationships between different aspects of biology which otherwise would not seem to be related. Thus, it unifies the science of biology.
biology
The "cell theory" is a unifying concept in biology. The cell theory states: 1. All organisms consists of one or more cells 2. The cell is the basic unit of structure for all organisms 3. All cells arise only from preexisting cells This theory bridges the gap between the old belief of "spontaneous generation" and the modern view of cells and the origins of life. It is because of this theory that modern biological advances have been possible.

Evolution is a unifying theme of biology because it accounts for both the diversity and the similarities, or the unity, of life. As you study biology, you will see time after time that organisms are related to one another.
Plate tectonics
Because evolutionary theory is the unifying theory of biology. Without it, our knowledge of biology would consist of a million separate little factoids, without understanding of the how or why it came to be like that. With it, all those little facts are gathered in a framework that shows us how these facts relate. As Dobzhansky wrote: nothing in biology makes sense, except in the light of evolution.

Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
