What are the least impacted biology majors at these schools? What major do you think I should apply as if I want to do something biology based?
UCLA
UCSD
UC Berekley
At UCB, the main biology majors (integrative biology, molecular and cell biology) are in the College of Letters and Science, which admits only to the division, not the major. Neither is impacted, so passing the prerequisites (C or higher, 2.0 GPA or higher) allows declaring the major.

There are some smaller biology majors in the College of Natural Resources as well.
At UCSD, biological sciences is an impacted major.

What exactly do you mean by impacted?
@mandalorian basically impacted majors are majors that are harder to get into than regular majors. for example, UCSD’s biology and engineering majors are impacted, which makes it a lot harder to get into than another major like philosophy etc.
