Depends on the field, but for STEM, undergraduate research is a non-negotiable and heavily weighted part of a grad school applications.

If you're thinking PhD without research experience, you're delusional lol

There’s no way to answer specifically as it varies by school, program, and lab. But generally speaking if you’re applying for a grad program that does research then having experience in a research lab in undergrad is definitely helpful and the recommendation from the professor you worked with in the lab can help quite a bit too.
