Here are the three translation of the verse 49 of Surah 51.

YUSUFALI: And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction.

PICKTHAL: And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect.

SHAKIR: And of everything We have created pairs that you may be mindful.

Does "everything" here, also include biological organisms?

Because there are a number of organisms that can reproduce asexually such as bacterial cells.

At first glance, some may consider it a blunder in the Holy Quran. How does one counter such arguments and explain this verse?
