Yes you can use gel electrophoresis to visualise the results of PCR.

Hey, The basic steps involved in PCR are: Denaturation: Here heat the reaction to denature the DNA strands. This will provide you with single-stranded template for the following step. Annealing: This step involves cooling the reaction so that the primers can easily bind to complementary sequences on the single-stranded template DNA. Extension: In this step, you have raise the reaction temperature so the taq polymerase extends the primers, thereby synthesizing latest strands of DNA.

Varun, you can definitely use gel electrophoresis to visualise the results of PCR. basically a gel electrophoresis is a technique where the fragments of DNA are drawn through a gel matrix and thereby the DNA fragments are separated as per the size of the fragments.
