3 of the modes are minor: Dorian, Phrygian, and Aoelian (natural minor)
If we analyze the Phrygian and Dorian against the Aoelian the key notes would be the raised 6th for the Dorian (as noted) and the flat 2 and or 9th for the Phrygian.

The 3 modes that are based off the major triad are Ionian (Major), Lydian, and Mixolydian.
If we analyze the Mixo. and Lydian against the Ionian (Major) the key notes would be the flat 7th for the Mixo (as noted) and the sharp 4 or 11th for the Lydian.

The 7th mode, Locrian, outlines the Minor 7 b5 chord, and is similiar to a Phrygian scale with the 4th scale degree being flatted.
