Actually, in some schools you can get your BS degree in Biochemistry or genetics (there is only about a semester's workload of difference between the degrees if you wanted to double major) and then go into your masters after that.
I was a biochem major for two years, and was going to go into vet school, until computers took my interest and I switched.
According to the Department of Biochemistry at Texas A&M University in a FAQ:
What do Biochemistry and Genetics students do after college (bachelor's degree)?
Our students do a variety of things. About a third will attend medical school, a third will attend graduate school for a masters and/or Ph.D, and a third will do something else (e.g. get a job, law school, sales).

The minimum would have to be at least as Master's degree in biochemistry. A PhD in that field is preferred in today's competitive world.

unless you want to work at lab-tech level you will need a PhD.
If you want to do research it's pretty competitive and you should be completely enthusiastic about what you are doing as you will spend most your time doing that.

to really answer you question a major in either biology or chemistry, or either a double major in both. Major in one and minor in the other.
