No. Parallel key signatures share the same tonic, or starting note. Relative minor/major are the scales that share a key signature.

What are the minor keys and its definition?

The minor keys usually have a darker sound and feel to them - as opposed to the major keys which sound generally brighter. The minor keys are based on the sixth degree of a given major scale (lets take D major as an example, if we go up six steps in this scale we get the notes D, E, F♯, G, A, and B). So B minor will have the same key signature as D major (with two sharps). In a major scale there are four semitones between the first and third degrees of the scale but in minor keys there are only three semitones. So in the D major scale the third scale degree (mediant) is F♯ but the same degree in D minor if F♮ (natural). As with the major keys, minor keys can also contain up to seven sharps or flats in their key signature too.

How can one identify minor key signatures?

To identify minor key signatures, look at the number of sharps or flats in the key signature. For minor keys, the key signature will indicate the relative major key, and the starting note of the minor key will be a minor third below the major key's starting note.
