The half-steps are between the 2nd and 3rd scale degrees, and between the 5th and 6th scale degrees. In the key of A minor, that's between B and C, and E and F.
two in natural minor, three in harmonic minor, and two in melodic minor going up and down.
Using A Minor as an example, the half steps are between the second and third notes and the fifth and sixth notes.
The type of scale that has half steps between those scale degrees is a harmonic minor scale.
Take C minor as an example: Whole - C to D Half - D to Eb Whole - Eb to F Whole - F to G Half - G to Ab Whole - Ab to Bb Whole - Bb to C
pure (natural), harmonic, and melodic pure minor-none of the scale degrees are altered harmonic minor-7th scale degree raised a half step melodic minor- 6th and 7th scale degrees raised ascending and pure minor descending
The semitones (half steps) in a natural minor scale are between the 2nd and 3rd and the 5th and 6th notes.
two in natural minor, three in harmonic minor, and two in melodic minor going up and down.

major: Half steps between scale degrees 3 and 4, ; 7 and 8 Natural Major: Half steps between scale degrees 2 and 3; 5 and 6 Harmonic Major: Half Steps between scale degrees 2 and 3, 5 and 6, 7 and 8 Ascending Melodic minor: Half Steps between scale degrees 2 and 3, 7 and 8 - Apex
To turn a major scale to natural minor, lower the third, sixth, and seventh scale tones a half step. To create a natural minor scale from scratch, it is: whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step. A harmonic minor scale has a seventh raised by a half step above a natural minor scale. A melodic minor scale has a sixth and a seventh raised by a half step above a natural minor scale.
The type of scale that has half steps between those scale degrees is a harmonic minor scale.
A melodic minor scale is a minor scale where the sixth and seventh are raised by a half step as the scale ascends; however, the melodic minor scale is played exactly the same as a natural minor scale as it descends.
Take C minor as an example: Whole - C to D Half - D to Eb Whole - Eb to F Whole - F to G Half - G to Ab Whole - Ab to Bb Whole - Bb to C
pure (natural), harmonic, and melodic pure minor-none of the scale degrees are altered harmonic minor-7th scale degree raised a half step melodic minor- 6th and 7th scale degrees raised ascending and pure minor descending
Harmonic Minor - The first minor scale you will learn, uses the accidentals in the key signature with a sharp 7th. Melodic Minor - First half of the scale is minor, the second half is major (ascending). Descending, only the accidentals in the scale are used. Natural Minor - Same notes as the relative major but ending on the first note of the minor scale. Hope this helps.
Using C harmonic minor as an example, the notes are C D Eb F G Ab B C. The half steps are between D and Eb, G and Ab, and B and C. Going by scale degrees, the half steps are between the 2nd and 3rd, the 5th and 6th, and the 7th and octave.
