Answer:

A single stranded nucleic acid that plays a role in protein synthesis. - RNA

This is the structure in the cell nucleus that houses a cell's genetic information - Chromosome

This is the organisms hereditary information - DNA

These are complex proteins that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the amount of energy needed to get the reaction started. - Enzyme

This is a segment of DNA on the chromosome that is coded for a particular trait - Gene

Step-by-step explanation:

The genetic information is called DNA. At certain stages of the cell cycle, the DNA is condensed into structures called chromosomes.

Sections of DNA that encode for specific traits are called genes. Usually, a gene codes for a specific protein. It does so through an intermediate molecule called RNA, which carries the message to synthesise a specific protein.

Enzymes are special proteins that catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the energy required for a reaction to proceed.
