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?
creating in pairs doesnt mean each living being has another one to have sex with and reproduce. rather creating things in pairs means heaven-hell, life-death, heavens-earth, belief-disbelief, asexual-sexual, man-woman, happy-sad, etc etc
