Unix and windows are two separate groups of operating systems. Windows is the operating system of about 90% of personal computers, while unix is the basis of many other operating systems, such as Mac OS X
Linux is a clone based on the environment and look and feel of Unix. In this way, Unix was used as the model and Linux looks like it based on the Unix features and methodology.
No, but Linux is based on Unix since Linux is a Unix clone.
Linux is an open system, Unix is not.

what are similarities and differences between linux and unix?
Linux is not "based" on anything per se. Its kernel is all original code and the software included in the average Linux distribution is non-centric to a given system. However. Linux is inspired by and readily identified as being "related" to UNIX, to the point many Linux users consider it to be UNIX.
Linux and Unix do have their share of malware, though there are fewer of them.
No, it is unix-based but Linux is a kernel not an operating system.Ubuntu,Linux Mint,Debian,and puppy Linux,ect. are OS's that use the Linux kernel.
Because Linux evolved from UNIX, but Windows evolved from DOS.
Linux, Minix, Coherent, FreeBSD, etc. These are all clones of Unix
No, Linux IS Unix, so the question makes no sense. Unix is a general term for a class of operating systems. Linux is also a term applied to more than one operating system variant, but all Linux OS are Unix OS. Redhat is one type of Linux. BSD is a type of Unix that is not Linux.
Linux is a Unix-like system. This means that it is inspired or influenced by Unix in some shape or form (Linux started off from Minix), but it is not directly derived from Unix. However, BSD is based on Unix, and macOS is indirectly Unix-based because of its mixed heritage with BSD.
