HELP PLEASE! Why is it very unlikely for a frameshift mutation to be a silent mutation?

Answer:

Explanation: A frameshift mutation completely changes the genetic code from the point of the mutation, so the protein made as a result of the mutation would have the incorrect structure and would not function as it should.
