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

Which major and minor keys have no sharps or flats?
The keys of C major and A minor have no sharps or flats.
What is the difference between a minor and major key?
Each major key has a relative minor key and vice versa. For example a key signature with one sharp can refer to either the G major or the e minor keys. For major keys there is only one scale type. For minor keys there are 3: pure, harmonic, and melodic. In pure(natural) minor none of the scale degrees are altered. In harmonic minor the seventh scale degree is raised half a step. In melodic minor the seventh and the sixth scale degrees are raised half a step, ascending and returned to their pure minor descending.
What is key signature has B flat E flat and A flat?
The key signature is E flat major, which is also, C minor, the relative minor of E flat major. You can find out what flat key signature you're in by finding the second to last flat (in this case E flat). It is the major version of that key signature!
What is the parallel minor for the key of E major?
Parallel major and minor keys have the same tonic pitch. Therefore, E minor is the parallel minor of E Major.
What is the relation between C Major and Eb Major?
C MINOR is the relative minor to Eb major, meaning both keys have the same 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.

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.
How do you take major keys and transform them into minor keys?
Count up a sixth from the major (C) to find the minor (A).
Which key signature has d sharp g sharp and a sharp?
No key signatures contain only those three sharps. With the A-sharp, it could be the keys of B major, F-sharp major, or C-sharp major (or any of their relative minor keys).
Which major and minor keys have no sharps or flats?
The keys of C major and A minor have no sharps or flats.
What are all the major keys that dont have parallel minors?
Every major key has a parallel minor. ______________________ What you are referring to is that some keys only exist in theory and not in practice, the major keys of D flat, G flat and C flat have parallel minors but they are never used due to notational difficulties caused by the requirement for a double flat; so C sharp, F sharp and B minors are used instead of their 'theoretical' enharmonics.
Does a minor scale include both the black and white keys on a piano?
White keys are for the major scale, black keys for the minor.
