Which of the following statements are correct?
I. A multicellular organism is composed of mainly three types of cells
II. Undifferentiated cells are stem cells and are unspecialised cells, which usually possesses the power of division
III. Differentiated cells are post-mitotic cells and are specialised to perform specific functions
