they are non-living outside the host body but when virus enters into the host body then it is living.

viruses are highly pathogenic, lack protoplasm and are obligate parasites

Mutation occurs when an error is incorporated in the viral genome.

If viruses are 'non-living' entities then they should not have the ability to adapt to a particular condition. However, most viruses, including human immunodeficiency and influenza viruses, undergo constant mutations, thereby changing their phenotypic characters to sustain themselves in their environment.
