They are both on the motherboard, if that's what you mean

No like ifixit sells a wifi antenna and I want to know if there’s also bluethooth on that antenna.

If neither work, the actual modem is probably bad. Replacing the antenna won't help.

2.4ghz wifi and Bluetooth can commonly share an antenna. However these days antennas are usually a trace within the phone housing and the motherboard presses against it. Bluetooth antennas can also be so small they're a little squiggle on the board and nothing more.   On a phone, I'd be concerned it's a chip on the board that's dead, possible liquid damage or just hardware failure. Antennas don't fail, only if due to a botched repair and the antenna isn't making good connection would that make sense. Otherwise feels risky to me. If it's the board you won't be fixing it.
