For a start, the main difference is between the more martial, joyful major sound and the more sombre melancholy minor. The fact that the first note of each key (the tonic) is the same (Eb is the same as D#) is probably the only similarity. Thereafter the flattened third and sixth note of Eb minor will distinguish it in sound to the scale of D# major. The second difference is the writing; the same notes, while sounding identical, will look different on the sheet music.
Generally, the sharp and flat signs are known as accidentals. They alter the pitch of the note. As an example, D sharp is a half-step higher than D where D flat is a half step lower.
The way you would modulate from D major to Bb major would be passing through a D minor chord then modulating to G minor to get to Bb major.
Move the second note of the chord a half-step up.
The dominant note for D major and D minor is A.
E, F#, G, A, B, C, D#, E (F# is the black note after F; D# is the black note after D)
The D minor chord consists of three notes: D, F, and A. The root note is D, the minor third is F, and the perfect fifth is A. Together, these notes create the characteristic sound of the D minor chord.
The leading tone in the key of D, whether major or minor, is C#.

On a piano, the basic 3-note minor chord (minor triad) is made with the Root, the Minor Third, and the Perfect Fifth. For D minor, that would be D (usually with the thumb), F (usually with the middle finger), and A (usually with the pinky).
To determine what the seventh note (leading note) is in a minor scale, you need to determine which minor scale you are playing. The seventh note of a natural minor scale, you take the note which is a whole tone (2 notes) below your tonic (the note which is the name of your scale). Example: In A natural minor scale the leading note is G. The seventh note of a harmonic minor scale is a semitone (1 note) below your tonic note. Ex: In E harmonic minor scale, the leading note is D sharp. The seventh note of a melodic minor scale (ascending) will be a semitone below your tonic note, like your harmonic minor scale. Descending the melodic minor scale reverts to its natural state, therefore your seventh note will be a whole tone below your tonic.
Both G major and e minor have F# in their key signatures. For e minor, the 7th note (D) is raised (to D#) when it is in harmonic form.
Relative major and minor share the same key signature but a different tonic note (a tonic note is the first note of the scale or in solfege tonic is DO). For example, D flat major has five flats in it's key signature and b flat minor has 5 flats in it's key signature; therefore, D flat major and b flat minor are relative.
D minor - (Bb) D (harmonic) minor raises the 7th note which is C sharp (C#). D (Melodic) minor naturals 6th and raises 7th (C#) note when going up. when it come down, it naturals 7th note to (C) and flat the 6th note which is B to B flate (Bb) B minor - (F#,C#) B minor uses the same theory. All harmonic minor raises 7th note. and melodic minor naturals 6th and raises 7th note from A to (A#) when going up. it naturals the 7th note (A# to A) and the 6th note (G# to G) when coming down. Harmonic raise 7th Melodic raise 6th and 7th when going up, natural 6th and 7th when going down.
It's a C, D minor consists of; D-E-F-G-A-bB-C it's a full-half-full-full-half-full-full step scale.
