Technically, the Ionian mode would be considered the major scale, as it is based off of the tonic note. However, it can be minor too.

What is the diatonic scale?
7 note scale. Any mode of major scale with no chromatic alterations
What scale has just a d sharp in it?
That would be called an A minor "Gypsy Scale" (although the term "Gypsy Scale" is often applied to several different scales found in Gypsy music). It is a synthetic mode created by raising the fourth degree of the natural minor scale. It is quite likely that the seventh degree will be raised at times, also, which turns it into a minor mode of the double harmonic major scale.
What musical mode is Fair Phyllis written in church mode major mode minor mode or both major and minor modes?
major mode
Is there a G-sharp in the A dorian scale?
No. The mode of A Dorian uses the same key signature as G major, so the only sharp note is F.
What is meant by the Dorian key signature?
A Dorian key signature is an earlier style of key signature used on pieces in minor keys. A good example is J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 538, that was notated with a key signature of zero flats rather than the one flat of a contemporary key signature notation for D Minor. The Dorian mode is a mode of the major scale built off of the second scale degree of a major scale and, therefore, a Dorian key signature for D Minor would be the signature for the major scale a whole step below: C Major...therefore zero flats. The D Dorian scale is spelled D, E, F, G, A, B, C and therefore shares the same key signature as C Major in this older notational system. It is now customary within the western tonal system to relate minor keys to the key signature of the major key found a minor third above. D Minor is now written with one flat, the key signature of F Major. Today the "natural minor" scale or Aeolian mode (the mode built off the 6th scale degree of major) is the common reference point for a minor key's key signature.
What is a major scale also know as?
A major scale can also be known as the ionian mode.
What minor scale mode is just a major scale starting on the sixth scale degree?
I'm not sure if this is the answer your looking for, but by playing a scale, starting on the sixth degree in a major scale (also called aeolian mode), you will essentially be playing a natural minor scale. Specifically, the relative minor.
What is the diatonic scale?
7 note scale. Any mode of major scale with no chromatic alterations
What is the third mode of the major scale?
The third in a B-flat scale is D.
What is the second mode of the C major scale?
D natural
How does the mixolydian mode on g differ from the scale of g major?

What scale has just a d sharp in it?

What is the pentatonic scale used by the Japanese and Chinese?
The pentatonic scale used in Japanese traditional music is called the Yo scale, while in Chinese traditional music it is known as the Gong scale. Both scales consist of five notes per octave and are characterized by their simple, harmonious sound.
Which emotion is not thought to be aroused by musical mode?
A music mode is produced by the intervals and the relation to the tonic (starting note.) If a mode is minor which is defined by a minor third in relation to the tonic, i.e a C note in the key of A then it will have a sad effect. If it is a major mode which is defined by a major third i.e C+ then it will have an uplifting effect. With some modes the effect is more intense than others. If you use the locrian mode for example it can be very depressing. The Dorian mode however which is a minor mode has more of a jazz minor sound, if you wish to hear an example of this mode listen to "Black magic woman" by Santana. Other examples are the Lydian mode which has a dreamy major effect. The two most common modes however are the Natural Minor scale which is basically the C major scale (Ionian mode) starting from the sixth note and the latter scale which is usually, as I mentioned as the "Major" scale.
What are Heterotrophs are also known as?
heterotrophs are also known as 'other feeders' Heterotrophs are also known as parasites or saprophytes depending on their mode of getting food.
