A gene.
DNA codes for messenger RNA: each DNA nucleotide complementarily hydrogen-bonds with RNA nucleotides. A codon is a segment of three nucleotides in the RNA molecule that carries the code of one amino acid. A codon complementarily and very specifically hydrogen bonds with the anticodon of a tRNA molecule. The amino acids encoded by the messenger RNA join to form a polypeptide chain through a polymerization process.

Short section of DNA which codes for a particular trait?
Answer: A gene.
How do you distinguish genes and traits?
Genes are discrete segments along a DNA molecule that codes for a particular trait. A trait is an observable expression of a gene.
What is the name given to a specific region of DNA that codes for a particular heredity trait?
Gene.
What do genes proteins and trait have to do with one anthor?
A trait is an inherited characteristic of an organism. One example is eye color. When a gene codes for the trait "brown eye color" we mean that the person has proteins in her eyes that are shaped to reflect the brown color. The reason she has those particular proteins is because she has the gene that is the instructions for those specific proteins. So: the gene is the instruction to make the protein that is the expression of the trait.
