Evolution is not a cause of genetic change: it is the effect of genetic change.
Changes that are genetic
All evolution that results in increasing genetic divergence between subpopulations may result in speciation. That includes convergent evolution: convergence occurs at the phenotypical level, not at the genetic level.
Micro-evolution is not only a part of macro-evolution, it is the same mechanism as macro-evolution. Macro-evolution includes speciation, as a result of continuing micro-evolution.
Occurs when a new organism is formed from the same organism
All life is the result of evolution.

A change in the genetic composition of a population of organisms over time is known as evolution. This occurs through processes such as natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow, leading to changes in allele frequencies in a population's gene pool. These changes can result in the emergence of new traits, species, and adaptations.
genetic drift
Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new speciesRead more: evolution
