Evolution
The term 'modern theory of evolution' most likely refers to the 'modern synthesis', which combines Darwin's classical model with modern genetics.
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. One of the most important things modern genetics can do is observe this fact of nature by modern evolutionary genetic sequencing of many population genomes.
The branches of genetics, paleontology, observed natural selection and speciation all support evolution. Examples: (Genetics) Human chromosome 2 resulted from a fusion of two ancestral chromosomes. (Paleontology) Evolution of the horse. (Natural selection) Observed in Peppered moths. (Speciation) The Hawthorn Fly
Before Charles Darwin published his theory in the 1850s, there really was no scientific theory of evolution. Thus the theory is actually only a little over 150 years old. In the 1920s there was a revolution in our understanding of genetics, which was incorporated into the theory of evolution. That was known as "the modern synthesis." Since that time virtually every paper published on genetics, embryology, paleontology, or any other branch of biology has further strengthened the theory.

Yes, the evidence from systematics, paleontology, botany and field biology plus the findings of the founders of population genetics.
Modern scientists now use genetics to help explain the theory of natural selections.
Neo-Darwinism is the modern version of the Darwinian theory of evolution, which incorporates the principles of genetics to explain how inheritable variations can arise by mutation. Darwin did not have any knowledge of modern genetics and this idea puts the two together.
