Jun 24, 2014 at 18:37 comment added JYQ Thanks a lot, Mohan and Jason. Another question, say we are working over $\mathbb{C}$, under what conditions is $s$ general enough? $s$ intersects transversally with the zero section? I think this is not enough.
Jun 24, 2014 at 17:38 comment added Jason Starr Since you tagged this "algebraic topology", probably you are working over $\mathbb{C}$. I just want to point out, this type of thing can fail for smooth schemes over a finite field. If you assume that the field is infinite, then you should be able to apply Bertini theorems (probably this is what Mohan is alluding to as well).
Jun 24, 2014 at 16:28 comment added Mohan Depends. $E$ may have too few sections and then $Z$ may not be even zero dimensional for any section. If $E$ is globally generated, then general section will have the property you expect.
