Answer:

Nitrogenous

Step-by-step explanation:

Transfer RNA, also known as tRNA, is one of the three types of RNA. It is involved in the translation process. The shape of the tRNA allows it to be a very important component of the translation process.

The morphological structure of the tRNA is in such a way that a sequence of nitrogenous bases called ANTICODON attach to one of its ends while an amino acid is attached to the other end. This way the tRNA molecule is able to read the mRNA codon using its anticodons and carry the corresponding amino acids.

N.B; the anticodons are composed of three nitrogenous bases just like codons. Codons are complementary to anticodons.
