In population genetics heterozygosity is a measure of genetic diversity in a population. It represents an equilibrium between the input of genetic variation by mutation and the removal of variation by genetic drift.

(derivation from area and per generation effects) 
(infinite allele derivation) 
(infinite sites derivation using the coalescent)
(alternatives such as the stepwise mutation model for microsatellites)
