Macro-evolution. Or, more accurately, speciation.
When microevolution occurs over many generations, inherited characteristics can lead to changes in populations. This can result in the adaptation of populations to their environment, leading to the emergence of new traits and the evolution of new species. This process drives biodiversity and is driven by natural selection acting on genetic variation within a population.
The theory of evolution is the overarching scientific framework that explains how biological evolution occurs. Biological evolution refers specifically to the change in inherited characteristics of populations over generations. Biological evolution is the observed process that supports the theory of evolution.

Evolution in biology refers to the change in inherited characteristics of populations over successive generations. It is driven by mechanisms such as natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, and gene flow, leading to the adaptation of organisms to their environments and the origin of new species.
The change in inherited characteristics over time is called evolution. Evolution occurs through a process of natural selection, where those inherited traits that provide individuals with a survival or reproductive advantage are more likely to be passed on to future generations. Over time, this can lead to the emergence of new species with different characteristics from their ancestors.
This process is called adaptive evolution. It occurs when certain inherited traits become more prevalent in a population over time due to their advantage in the environment. This leads to changes in the population's genetic composition, allowing it to better survive and reproduce in its specific ecological niche.
Biological evolution refers to the change in inherited traits over generations in populations. Stages of biological evolution could refer to processes within evolution, such as variation, selection, and inheritance, that contribute to the overall evolutionary change in a population.

evolution
No. Genetics is the study of how characteristics are inherited. Evolution is the study of how species originate and change through time. Evolution only works on inherited characteristics ie genetic varoiation, so the two subjects are intimately related, but they are not the same.
This is called Evolution
