A possible connection among host-galaxies of gamma-ray bursts, BL Lacs and quasars is analysed. It is believed that the gamma-ray bursts, which do not show radio or infrared emission, occur in faint blue dwarf galaxies, that are seen around radio-quiet quasars, which lie in clusters. The GRB counterparts, which show radio emission, may be associated with more evolved starbursting environments, and arise from red galaxies, that are observed around some radio-loud quasars lying in richer clusters. The absorption lines are believed to arise from gases, that move in the intergalactic medium, due to tidal interactions occuring among the compact galaxies in the cluster environment. The connections between intra-day variable BL Lac-blazars and radio emitting gamma-ray hosts are also studied. The hosts of gamma-ray bursts, BL Lacs and quasars are believed to represent different evolutionary phases of a particular type of galaxy with a "twisted" morphology. They mostly occur in star formation environments and evolve from a galaxy possessing no AGN, but consisting of very massive young stellar sytems, to galaxies possessing developed AGNs, like in quasars, whose gas content have been exhausted in giving birth to the stars at the AGN core. In between these two phases, these galaxies may pass through the state of the red objects, which contain a new born quasar hidden under dust.This evolutionary history of the morphologies and the environment, where GRBs may occur is believed to be related to the process of formation of galaxies and large scale structures. Moreover, the starbursting peaks at different redshifts may indicate a universe that is different from the standard cosmolgy.
