We calculate the resistivity of 2D electron (hole) gas, taking into account the degeneracy and the thermal correction due to the combined Peltier and Seebeck effects. The resistivity is found to be universal function of temperature, expressed in units of e2h(kFl)−1. The giant parallel magnetiresistivity found to result from the spin and, if exists, valley splitting of the energy spectrum. Our analysis of compressibility and thermopower points to thermodynamic nature of metal-insulator transition in 2D systems.
