The advantage of using DNA polymerases from thermophilic organisms in PCR is that:

1.  the DNA polymerases of these bacteria are much faster than those from other organisms
2.  the DNA polymerases of these bacteria can withstand the high temperatures needed to denature the DNA strands
3.  the DNA polymerases of these bacteria never make mistakes while replicating DNA
4.  all of the above

2. Separate fragments
3. Triple stranded nucleic acid molecules
4. Barr bodies
