I haven’t taken 130/131 but I do know that 130 is more biology oriented, the other more chemistry. So if you are worried about the chem, 130 in the biochem major would be more your style. The major differences are biochem major you will need to take more biology classes less straight chem/physics and vice versa. If you are that afraid of pchem you can major as biology and take all biochem classes for electives/labs.

I would suggest not worrying right now as a bio major you can’t switch into biochem untill after 2nd year, and you need to make it there first before fretting over pchem.
