Could someone please list the minor keys from the bass cleft(with the corresponding major keys) for me? I'd really appreciate it.

The minor keys and their relative majors are as follows:

A minor -- C Major no flats or sharps
D minor -- F Major 1flat
G minor -- Bb Major 2 flats
C minor -- Eb Major 3 flats
F minor -- Ab Major 4 flats
Bb minor -- Db Major 5 flats
Eb minor -- Gb Major 6 flats
Ab minor -- Cb Major 7 flats

E minor -- G Major 1 sharp
B minor -- D Major 2 sharps
F# minor -- A Major 3 sharps
C# minor -- E Major 4 sharps
G# minor -- B Major 5 sharps
D# minor -- F# Major 6 sharps
A# minor -- C# Major 7 sharps

Not sure why you specified bass clef -- they are the same spelling in any clef.

The key signature sharps appear in this order: f,c,g,d,e,a,b.
The flats appear in the opposite order: b,e,a,d,g,c,f.

So, E minor would have omly f# and C# minor would have f#,c#,g#.d#. etc...

Hope this helps.
