Starting with the root of the scale, the pattern is whole-step, whole-step, half-step, whole-step, whole-step, whole-step, half-step.
What step does the R in PRICES stand for? Why is this step important?
whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step.
Yes it is.The third is flattened (one half step lower) in a minor scale.
All three types of the minor scale have a half step between scale degree 2 and scale degree 3. The Dorian mode also has a half step between those two scale degrees.
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.
Starting with the root of the scale, the pattern is whole-step, whole-step, half-step, whole-step, whole-step, whole-step, half-step.

In a harmonic minor scale, the sixth of the scale is raised, so the step and a half is found between the fifth and sixth of the harmonic minor scale because normally, there is a whole step between the fifth and sixth of a minor scale. Raising the sixth adds another half step, so you get the step and a half.

whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step.
Scale
Any major scale follows the same pattern. After the first note is a whole step, then another whole step, then a half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step; therefore, the fourth note of a scale is two and a half steps away from the first note.
whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step
whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step.
