Jun 25, 2013 at 18:19 comment added user5117 A slight variation on J.C Ottem's answer, for an arbitrary curve C: any fibre of such a morphism would have to have dimension n-1, i.e. be a hypersurface in P^n (see Shafarevich Ch.1 for a proof). But any two hypersurfaces in P^n intersect if n>1.

Jun 22, 2013 at 12:43 comment added J.C. Ottem For the last question, the number of intersection points could be arbitrarily large, if the degree of $C$ is large.
Jun 22, 2013 at 12:40 comment added J.C. Ottem A morphism $P^n\to P^1$ would be given by two homogeneous polynomials $f_0,f_1$, but these have a common zero if $n>1$..
