When micro-evolution occurs over many generations as inherited characteristics leads to changes in populations what has occurred?

What word do biologists use when they mean descent with modification?
Evolution?
Charles Darwin's idea of how species change over time is called what?

Can there be evolution without reproduction?
No. Evolution is defined, in its simplest form, as descent with modification. So reproduction is an essential part of the definition of evolution.
New generations are better suited to the environment than the first generation what is this called?
Descent with modification (Apex)
