merÂ·oÂ·zyÂ·gote. microbial genetics An organism that, in addition to its own original genome (endogenote), contains a fragment (exogenote) of a genome from another organism; the relatively small size of the exogenote permits a diploid condition for only a limited region of the endogenote.
If you have a plan with a previous employer, you will have to take a minimum required distribution from that plan once you turn 70 1/2, but you may defer receiving payments from NYU's plan(s) as long as you are still working at NYU.
If you already withdrew the minimum required amount last year when you reached age 70 1/2, you will be covered for the 2016 required distribution year. You will need to take your 2017 RMD amount by Dec. 31.
