What is the advantage of using a thermostable DNA polymerase in PCR?

What is the advantage of using a thermostable DNA polymerase in PCR?
  1. It allows for large-scale production
  2. It remains active during the high temperature induced denaturation of double stranded DNA
  3. It provides optimal growth conditions
  4. It enables cloning of foreign genes

Solution

The advantage of using a thermostable DNA polymerase in PCR is that it remains active during the high temperature induced denaturation of double stranded DNA, allowing for repeated amplification of the segment of DNA.
