The correct response is:

a family tree includes one subset of a single species, while a phylogenetic tree includes multiple species.

Family trees typically focus on the lineage and relationships within a specific species or family, often emphasizing human relationships. In contrast, phylogenetic trees illustrate the evolutionary relationships among multiple species, showing how different species are related through common ancestors.
