download just a chromosome from SRA toolkit

I want to download samples.fastq from a special SRP in GEO but I don't know that is possible to download just a chromosome.fastq file or not.

Can I download particular part of fastq samples from a database(like from a whole genome bs-sequencing just download a chromosome)? For practice of bs-sequencing I want to work on bs-seq data that is important the amount of data and I must to work on small volume fastq file

No, it is not possible since fastq are raw data without alignment information, hence without chromosomal information.

No, its impossible. Sequencing reads in SRA are not partitioned by chromosomes.
